project tasks component

I dont know of any standard java components that do this. Not too long ago I had to write a component to do some graphing, and it was a pretty difficult prospect. (It took about a week). Anyway here some ideas:

1. Easiest choice : If you got the cash (say if this is for work), maybe look into getting some third party graphing software. Ive heard of a couple by the KL group or one called JLoox.

2. Maybe check out the Java2D API. I know it has components for drawing lines and stuff. Havent checked it out to closely myself.

3. The hard way : Make your own Gantt diagram component. This would probably involve deriving from JPanel and overriding the public void paint(Graphics g)

function. You would then use the graphic object to draw the diagram. This is what i did and it was pretty time consuming with the testing and everything.
