## Import Packages
26
-
Firstly, make sure to import the necessary packages in your Java class to utilize Aspose.Tasks functionalities effectively.
35
+
First, import the core Aspose.Tasks classes that enable calendar manipulation.
36
+
27
37
```java
28
38
importcom.aspose.tasks.*;
29

```

## Step 1: Load Project and Access Calendar
31
-
Begin by loading your project file and accessing the calendar to which you want to add or remove exceptions.
40
+
41
+
## Step 1: Load the Project and Access Its Calendar
42
+
We begin by loading an existing Microsoft Project file (`input.mpp`) and grabbing the first calendar in the collection. You can adapt the index if you need a different calendar.
Calendar cal = project.getCalendars().toList().get(0);
36
48
```
37
-
## Step 2: Remove an Exception
38
-
To remove an existing exception from the calendar, check if there are any exceptions present and then remove the desired one.
49
+
50
+
## Step 2: Remove an Existing Exception (If Needed)
51
+
Sometimes a calendar already contains exceptions that you want to clear. The snippet below checks the exception list and removes the first entry when more than one exception exists.
To add a new exception to the calendar, create a `CalendarException` object and define its start and end dates.
59
+
60
+
> **Pro tip:** Always verify the size of the exception list before removing items to avoid `IndexOutOfBoundsException`.
61
+
62
+
## Step 3: Create (Add) a New Calendar Exception
63
+
Now we **create calendar exception** objects. In this example we define an exception that spans January 1‑3, 2009. Adjust the dates to suit your own project timeline.
Managing calendar exceptions is essential for accurate project scheduling and resource allocation. With Aspose.Tasks for Java, you can effortlessly add and remove exceptions to ensure your project timelines are maintained effectively.
