    Are we interested in a java version of this library
    http://www.suse.de/~freitag/taskjuggler/

    should this be the sort of thing that we are getting our data from?

      Task Juggler seems interesting. We may use a port of it as the internal engine for task scheduling.

      Basically, JProjectTimer is GUI based but we will need an import function for initial data input or application migration.
      I was considering to support some popular Project Softwares (such as MS project) and a generic CSV format.

        I have actually thought about this..

        My current gantt library does render information from microsoft project.. using an MPD which I link to via ODBC.

        The data, I get back allows me to render into two forms one for the task bar and the other for the actual tasks.

        I think you should take a look at my project now, I think it's a good that you can take the release version compile it and I'm sure the design is just to set for small changes not big changes from now or so it seems.

        As for Task Juggler, one of us needs to evaluate it properly and then contact the author so that we can start a java port of the library.

        I think we should also look into an RDMBS bridge this one looks good..

        http://objectbridge.sourceforge.net/

        I have no problems in providing the libraries that  you need to develop the GUI.

        Again, let me know when you start the JGantt integration stuff.. I'd love to see how it comes a long and I don't mind doing some of the development on that as I'm probably doing the same development to maintain my examples..

        Any chance of CVS access when you get started..
