taskjuggler syntax: depends but for task end

[Tomas]

Hi, I'm not sure if it's possible (couldn't find anything in docs),
but is it possible to declare depends but for task end? What I mean is
setting task end date that would come from other task?

For example I have :

task devend"development ends"{
start 2011-03-25
}

and then other tasks which would be like:

task coding "Coding"{
depends !devstart # sets task start date same as devstart
enddepends !devend # sets task end date same as devend
}

I know this probably doesn't fit with the IEEE project management
guidelines, but I thought I'll have a go.

Many thanks,
Tomas

TJ3 supports this. See 'onend'.

That's called a hammok task. But TJ doesn't support this. It's on the
TODO list, though.
