## Introduction
11+
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of calculating the critical path in MS Project using Aspose.Tasks for Java. The critical path is essential for project management as it helps identify the sequence of tasks that must be completed on time to ensure the project's overall schedule is not delayed.
12+
## Prerequisites
13+
Before we begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:
14+
1. Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your system.
15+
2. Aspose.Tasks for Java library downloaded and added to your project. You can download it from [here](https://releases.aspose.com/tasks/java/).
16+
17+
## Import Packages
18+
To start, import the necessary packages in your Java class:
19+
```java
2320
import com.aspose.tasks.*;
24-
25-
26-
public class CriticalPath {
27-
public static void main(String[] args) {
28-
// The path to the documents directory.
29-
String dataDir = "Your Data Directory";
30-
31-
Project project = new Project(dataDir + "New project 2013.mpp");
32-
project.setCalculationMode(CalculationMode.Automatic);
33-
34-
Task subtask1 = project.getRootTask().getChildren().add("1");
35-
Task subtask2 = project.getRootTask().getChildren().add("2");
36-
Task subtask3 = project.getRootTask().getChildren().add("3");
37-
38-
project.getTaskLinks().add(subtask1, subtask2, TaskLinkType.FinishToStart);
39-
40-
//Display the critical path now
41-
for (Task task : project.getCriticalPath()) {
42-
System.out.println(task.get(Tsk.NAME));
43-
}
44-
45-
//Display result of conversion.
46-
System.out.println("Process completed Successfully");
47-
}
21+
```
22+
## Step 1: Set Up Data Directory
23+
Define the path to your data directory where your MS Project file is located.
24+
```java
25+
String dataDir = "Your Data Directory";
26+
```
27+
## Step 2: Load MS Project File
28+
Load the MS Project file using Aspose.Tasks library.
29+
```java
30+
Project project = new Project(dataDir + "New project 2013.mpp");
31+
```
32+
## Step 3: Set Calculation Mode
33+
Set the calculation mode to automatic to enable the calculation of the critical path.
34+
```java
35+
project.setCalculationMode(CalculationMode.Automatic);
36+
```
37+
## Step 4: Add Tasks
38+
Add tasks to your project. In this example, we add three subtasks.
39+
```java
40+
Task subtask1 = project.getRootTask().getChildren().add("1");
41+
Task subtask2 = project.getRootTask().getChildren().add("2");
42+
Task subtask3 = project.getRootTask().getChildren().add("3");
43+
```
44+
## Step 5: Create Task Links
45+
Create task links to define the dependencies between tasks.
46+
```java
47+
project.getTaskLinks().add(subtask1, subtask2, TaskLinkType.FinishToStart);
48+
```
49+
## Step 6: Display Critical Path
50+
Retrieve and display the critical path of the project.
51+
```java
52+
for (Task task : project.getCriticalPath()) {
53+
System.out.println(task.get(Tsk.NAME));
4854
}
49-
50-
51-
52-
53-
5455
```
56+
## Step 7: Display Result
57+
Display a message indicating the successful completion of the process.
58+
```java
59+
System.out.println("Process completed Successfully");
60+
```
61+
62+
## Conclusion
63+
Calculating the critical path in MS Project using Aspose.Tasks for Java is crucial for effective project management. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can accurately identify the sequence of tasks critical to your project's timeline.
64+

## Introduction
11+
This tutorial will guide you through using Aspose.Tasks for Java to determine the version of an MS Project file step by step. Aspose.Tasks is a powerful Java API that allows developers to manipulate Microsoft Project files without requiring Microsoft Project to be installed.
12+
## Prerequisites
13+
Before we begin, ensure you have the following:
14+
1. Java Development Kit (JDK): Make sure you have JDK installed on your system.
15+
2. Aspose.Tasks for Java JAR file: Download the Aspose.Tasks for Java library from the [website](https://releases.aspose.com/tasks/java/) and add it to your Java project.
16+

## Step 1: Set Up the Project
25+
```java
26+
// The path to the documents directory.
27+
String dataDir = "Your Data Directory";
28+
```
29+
Replace `"Your Data Directory"` with the path to the directory containing your MS Project file.
30+
## Step 2: Load the Project
31+
```java
32+
Project project = new Project(dataDir + "input.xml");
33+
```
34+
Replace `"input.xml"` with the name of your MS Project file.
35+
## Step 3: Determine Project Version
36+
```java
37+
//Display project version property
38+
System.out.println("Project Version : " + project.get(Prj.SAVE_VERSION));
39+
System.out.println("Last Saved : " + project.get(Prj.LAST_SAVED));
40+
```
41+
This code snippet retrieves and prints the version and last saved date of the MS Project file.
42+
## Step 4: Display Result
43+
```java
44+
//Display result of conversion.
45+
System.out.println("Process completed Successfully");
46+
```
47+
This line indicates the completion of the process.
48+
49+
## Conclusion
