Answer 1

There seems to be a solution for graphviz in java without dot binary: https://github.com/nidi3/graphviz-java

From the github page it says:

To execute the graphviz layout engine, one of these options is used:

• If the machine has graphviz installed and a dot command is available, spawn a new process running dot.
• Use this javascript version of graphviz and execute it on the V8 javascript engine. This is done with the bundled J2V8 library.
• Alternatively, the javascript can be executed on Java's own Nashorn or GraalVM engine.

I have not tested it yet though
