Notepad++ xml language file
Brendan Hyland
Hi all,
Here is a Notepad++ language file for TJ2. I really like this editor, it
makes working in XP bearable, and now with TJ3 I think with a bit of
work I'll have a proper TaskJuggler development environment set up here.
This file gets put into the %User%\Application Data\Notepad++ directory
on XP. If you've already defined any other user defined languages then
open then don't overwrite that file, instead append the taskjuggler
section to it.
You may prefer to switch up the keywords a little, but I find this setup
works quite similar to the TJ2 GUI. There are some minor problems - for
example brackets are sometimes not recognized if they are adjacent to
another character, so code folding can get confused. However this just
encourages well laid out code. Also I used a bit of a hack to have it
differentiate between, e.g. task as an object versus as a column
heading, and it works most of the time but will once in a while get the
colour wrong.
Provided as-is, and with encouragement to post back if you improve it.
Works in Notepad++ v5.6.6.
Enjoy,
Brendan

I have win xp, TJ3, and Notepad++. I did download your file to %User%
\Application Data\Notepad++. But what do I do next? Do I need to
somehow tell Notepad++ to "see" this file? Can I then run TJ3 scripts
from Notepad++
Thanks so much
Steve

'user defined' and .tji files should automatically open with that
markup. If it doesn't just show up in the menu, then you could try the
user-defined-language-settings dock (there's a button in the toolbar)
and see if it's selectable in the 'user language' menu.
I haven't set it up to run the scripts from NPP yet, but I think that as
long as you have the correct environment path set up for ruby, it should
be pretty straight forward. I'll look into it this week and report back.
Currently I just run from a terminal.

and File Open does now look for tjp files. Further, the tjp files are
formatted beautifully now. Thanks so much! I have not figured out
what the Run command might be. I think it may be as simply as tj3
test.tjp. A Dos window then opens, does something very quickly, then
goes away, so it's hard to know what happened. Of course, if I open a
DOS shell, then I say tj3 tutorial.tjp and see just what happens.
Thanks

It's disappearing because it is running into an error (probably because
your ruby bin isn't in your path and so it can't find tj3).
My ruby installation came with a batch file that adds the path each
time:
C:\Ruby19\bin\setrbvars.bat
You may have the same. Or you could permanently add the ruby path to
your %PATH%.
So the answer would probably be to make a batch file that includes
adding ruby to your path, then calling tj3 command (set up to take the
filename as an input), and then followed by a PAUSE so that it doesn't
just disappear when it's done.
I'm on deadlines so I won't be testing this out for a few days, but I
will report back.

Go to "Plugins/NppExec/Show Console Dialog"
Then the console is opened and you have access to the whole directory.
So, change to your project dir and execute e.g. "tj3 [project].tjp".

output. It's just that if, in winxp, I go to Start, Run, then put in
the command. In that case, the command will run, then the DOS window
goes away, as soon as the program is done. Has to be run from a shell
to see if there were errors. And I am getting lots of errors with
some of the example scripts. Others are just fine. So, I am using
PowerCmd, as my DOS shell. Easier to see the history and it has a kind
of auto-completion. And I am trying Locate32 project, so that I can
search for words in a .tjp file since I am new to TaskJuggler. With
NotePad++, I have now installed NppExec. I see it has a shell too.
Here is my first tj3 chart. http://i50.tinypic.com/wvabnp.jpg. By the
way, is there any way to get more than one gantt bar, on the same row?
Thanks so much!

bar, on one row. On the same row, can I show that a task has operated
for 2 days, and on the same row, show that a new one will run, for the
next 3 days? Or, must each task have its won gant bar, and on its own
row?
Thanks

I dont't know your use case , but yes every task has it's own row.
In a gantt chart every row is represented as a row.
So, you want to define a grouptask and visualize the subtasks in the
same row.
I think this makes not easier to read a gantt chart, from my
perspective it's
better to have this in separate rows...
