45 | | - myNumber1 = ExtendedAttributeDefinition.createResourceDefinition(ExtendedAttributeResource.Number1, "Age"); |
46 | | - prj.getExtendedAttributes().add(myNumber1); |
47 | | - } |
48 | | - |
49 | | - // Create extended attribute and set its value |
50 | | - ExtendedAttribute number1Resource = myNumber1.createExtendedAttribute(); |
51 | | - number1Resource.setNumericValue(BigDecimal.valueOf(30.5345)); |
52 | | - |
53 | | - // Add a new resource and its extended attribute |

55 | | - rsc.getExtendedAttributes().add(number1Resource); |

60 | | - System.out.println("Process completed Successfully"); |
61 | | - // ExEnd: ExtendedResourceAttributes |
62 | | - } |
| 29 | +``` |
| 30 | +## Step 1: Define Data Directory |
| 31 | +Set the path to the directory where your project data resides. |
| 32 | +```java |
| 33 | +String dataDir = "Your Data Directory"; |
| 34 | +``` |
| 35 | +## Step 2: Load Project File |
| 36 | +Instantiate a `Project` object by loading your Microsoft Project file. |
| 37 | +```java |
| 38 | +Project prj = new Project(dataDir + "ResourceWithExtAttribs.xml"); |
| 39 | +``` |
| 40 | +## Step 3: Define Extended Attribute |
| 41 | +Define the extended attribute for the resource. |
| 42 | +```java |
| 43 | +ExtendedAttributeDefinition myNumber1 = prj.getExtendedAttributes().getById((int) ExtendedAttributeTask.Number1); |
| 44 | +if (myNumber1 == null) { |
| 45 | + myNumber1 = ExtendedAttributeDefinition.createResourceDefinition(ExtendedAttributeResource.Number1, "Age"); |
| 46 | + prj.getExtendedAttributes().add(myNumber1); |
63 | 47 | } |
64 | | - |
65 | 48 | ``` |
| 49 | +## Step 4: Create Extended Attribute and Set Value |
| 50 | +Create the extended attribute and assign a numeric value to it. |
| 51 | +```java |
| 52 | +ExtendedAttribute number1Resource = myNumber1.createExtendedAttribute(); |
| 53 | +number1Resource.setNumericValue(BigDecimal.valueOf(30.5345)); |
| 54 | +``` |
| 55 | +## Step 5: Add Resource and Extended Attribute |
| 56 | +Add a new resource to the project along with its extended attribute. |
| 57 | +```java |
| 58 | +Resource rsc = prj.getResources().add("R1"); |
| 59 | +rsc.getExtendedAttributes().add(number1Resource); |
| 60 | +``` |
| 61 | +## Step 6: Save Project |
| 62 | +Save the modified project to a new file. |
| 63 | +```java |
| 64 | +prj.save(dataDir + "project5.xml", SaveFileFormat.Xml); |
| 65 | +``` |
| 66 | +## Step 7: Display Result |
| 67 | +Print a message confirming the completion of the process. |
| 68 | +```java |
| 69 | +System.out.println("Process completed Successfully"); |
| 70 | +``` |
| 71 | +By following these steps meticulously, you can seamlessly handle extended MS Project resource attributes using Aspose.Tasks for Java. |
| 72 | + |
