TaskConnector: redmine -> Microsoft project connector

Added by Alex Last over 14 years ago

I created a desktop application (based on Eclipse platform) to load data from Redmine (using REST API) and save it to a Microsoft Project file.
The current version is mostly a prototype with many limitations, but I'll keep working on it. Here's the download link (the app is open-source and free): http://code.google.com/p/redmine-connect/downloads

(The app requires Java Runtime to run)

The project page has more info and the screenshot: http://code.google.com/p/redmine-connect/

The application supports 2 connectors at this moment:
1) Redmine (read-only)
2) Microsoft project( write-only)

I'm going to add more connectors to it (like Jira and Bugzilla) and also improve the Redmine connector to enable bi-directional synchronization between Redmine and MS Project. Feel free to look at the plans and submit your suggestions here: http://code.google.com/p/redmine-connect/issues/list

Build 4 of "Task Connector" application is released. It supports 2-way synchronization between Redmine and MS project (MPX) files. You can get it from the same "Downloads" page: http://code.google.com/p/redmine-connect/downloads

Build 5 is released. main change: it works with Microsoft Project XML files (aka "MSPDI" format) instead of deprecated MPX.

The project has moved to http://www.taskadapter.com website.
There are trial and paid versions; support is provided by email.
The project is evolving quickly and a new version is generally released every two weeks.

The current list of supported connectors:
  • Redmine (read/write)
  • Microsoft Project XML files (read/write)
  • Atlassian Jira (read/write, no subtasking support yet. experimental version)
Main focus for the next several releases:
  • Improve usability
  • Support Microsoft Project MPP files (read only)
  • Support "update" instead of "recreate" for Microsoft Project XML files.

The next release is planned for December 23, 2010.

Now there is a MS Project VSTO add-in for redmine: https://github.com/conveniencable/microsoft_project_connector. Beside filtering/adding/updating/deleting tasks/issues, It can merge new/updated isssues to tasks.
