Best open source Gantt chart components


A Gantt chart is mainly used in project management. It is a bar chart, designed by Henry Gantt, that shows a project schedule. Gantt chart illustrates elements contained in the work breakdown structure (WBS) of the project. Gantt charts usually show the start and finish dates of WBS elements and also show the dependency relationships between them.

The following is a list of best open source Gantt chart web components:

  1. gwt-gantt

    gwt-gantt is a web-based Gantt Chart widget for use in Google Web Toolkit (GWT) applications. Features include:

    • Gantt Chart with Hour/Day/Week/Month/Quarter views
    • Compatible with GWT 2.1 Data Presentation model
    • Pure Java with GWT, not a JS wrapper

    gwt-gantt is in its early stages, and currently only works with HTML5 capable webapps that support inline SVG components (Firefox 4 and Chrome 6+). Support for non-HTML5 webapps will be coming soon, but is a lower priority.

  2. jquery.ganttView

    The jQuery.ganttView plugin is a very lightweight plugin for creating a Gantt chart in plain HTML…no vector graphics or images required. The plugin supports dragging and resizing the Gantt blocks and callbacks to trap the updated data.

GanttMVC is a utility written in MVC pattern,so it will be more usable.There are many project tools which contains gannt module,but we can not find many unattached gantt utility.So,I wrote this package.But,what you should know is that it is written in SWT,so you can just use it in your Eclipse SWT/JFace project.Anyway,it is such a wonderful tool that you can add more features as you like.
