In this blog post we will look at 3 different ways to add the JPlanner.jar library to your project in the NetBeans IDE. The projects are:
We assume you have downloaded the JPlanner.jar either with the trial version of Scheduling for Java Swing or with one of the samples.
I. Java Application with Maven
Right click on the “Dependencies” node in your project tree and choose “Add Dependency”:
In this blog post we will show you how to open the sample projects that come with the MindFusion Scheduling library for Java Swing with Apache NetBeans IDE.
The samples for MindFusion JPlanner are available from two sources:
By default the sample folders cannot be opened as projects in NetBeans. You should import them with File -> Import Project -> Eclipse Project.
In this blog post we will explain how to color cells and resources in the Resource view of the calendar based on a certain criteria. In our case we take the “Resource Table” sample from the Samples for the Java Swing Scheduler and we will edit its code to color the header and background of cells that correspond to given resources, in our sample it is an employee:
We will also add tooltips that show when the mouse is over cells that correspond to this employee:
MindFusion has released a new version of its Diagramming component for Java Swing with various new appearance and layout features. Here are the details:
Preserve order in tree layout
The new Balance property can be set to Preserve to keep the original geometric order of child nodes when arranging them under their parent. This can be used to arrange tree branches in a specific order by first placing them in increasing horizontal or vertical positions.
The tree layout algorithm
Undirected Path Finding
PathFinder supports undirected mode. Its methods have been changed from static to instance, and its constructor takes an ignoreDirection parameter. If ignoreDirection is enabled, the underlying graph is treated as undirected and link direction is not considered when looking for paths.
Detecting a cycle in a graph.
Selection Improvements
