You're going to have to combine some examples:
Use a CategoryDataset like DefaultCategoryDataset for your data. Use ChartFactory.createStackedBarChart() with PlotOrientation.HORIZONTAL to create the chart.
Make sure the first parameter to addValue() is a multiple of 15 minutes, in milliseconds.
Use a DateAxis for the domain; call setDateFormatOverride() to get the format you want.
DateAxis dateAxis = new DateAxis("Time");
dateAxis.setDateFormatOverride(new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm"));
categoryplot.setRangeAxis(dateAxis);
For scrolling, use a SlidingCategoryDataset like they suggest here, or use the zoom commands from the context menu.
For color, use a custom getItemPaint(), like they show here.
I did set the DateFormat to show years, and it has 1970 as a year! Why?
You're example is creating new date values using seconds, but Date expects milliseconds. I added 000L to the time values, moved the range calculation to createDataset(), and let the axis auto-range.
