Aspose.Tasks for Java 22.11 Release Notes

All Changes

Public API and Backwards Incompatible Changes

Examples and additional notes

Related issue: TASKSNET-3855 - Implement the API to access entities’ fields using .NET properties

Properties were added to Task, Resource, ResourceAssignment and Project objects which allows more convenient access of entity fields. For example, ’task.getName()’ getter can be used instead of ’task.get(Tsk.NAME)’ and setter ’task.setName(“task name”)’ can be used instead of ’task.set(Tsk.NAME, “task name”)’ statement.

Related issue: TASKSNET-10664 - Add an setting that allows to specify that Primavera UIDs should be preserved when importing project from XER or P6XML formats

PrimaveraReadOptions.PreserveUids property was added to make it possible to specify that original Unique IDs of tasks, resource and assignments should be preserved when reading project in XER or P6XML format.

The option can be useful in a scenario when a project is exported from Primavera, then changed (loaded, modified and saved) using Aspose.Tasks and imported back to Primavera. Before version 22.11 UIDs were renumbered when reading project in Primavera formats.

Related issue: TASKSNET-10699 - Add an API for read-only access to Primavera-specific task’s properties for projects read from XER\P6XML formats

It not a secret that in API of Aspose.Tasks model of Project (including Tasks, Resources, Assignments and related entities) was built with MS Project’s model in mind. Primavera has slightly different model of Project and, as a consequence, some Primavera fields don’t have corresponding properties in public API of Aspose.Tasks. To partially address this issue we added com.aspose.tasks.PrimaveraTaskProperties class which will contain read-only values of Primavera-specific fields read from source XER of P6XML file.

Project project = new Project("test.xer");

for(Task task : project.enumerateAllChildTasks()) {
    if (task.isSummary()) {
        System.out.println(String.format("Sequence number: %d, Task : %s", task.getPrimaveraProperties().getSequenceNumber(), task.getName()));
    } else {
        System.out.println(String.format("RemainingLateStart: %s, Task : %s", task.getPrimaveraProperties().getRemainingLateStart(), task.getName()));
    }
}
