NOTE: For this example to work you have to run it in a web server context. This is a simple example showing how to import data from an MS Project file directly to the Ext Gantt. With the help of the MPXJ library, we've built a Java based application which extracts data from .mpp files. This gives us the ability to extract Tasks, Resources, Assignments, Dependencies and Columns. The basic MSP columns will be converted to proper Ext JS columns, while any custom column will be added as an `Ext.tree.Column` type. The project is a standalone JAR package and the only dependency is Java JDK 1.5+.
To try this example, you can use your own MPP project file or download this sample MPP: AdvancedExample.mpp Note that the js for the example code is not minified so it is readable. See import.js.
