How To: Read Project Commander files

Project Commander is a planning tool for Windows which writes its own PC file format.

Reading Project Commander files

The simplest way to read a Project Commander file is to use the UniversalProjectReader:

import net.sf.mpxj.ProjectFile;
import net.sf.mpxj.reader.UniversalProjectReader;

// ...

UniversalProjectReader reader = new UniversalProjectReader();
ProjectFile project = reader.read("my-sample.pc");

You can work directly with the ProjectCommanderReader by replacing UniversalProjectReader with ProjectCommanderReader, although this offers no particular advantage as there are no additional configuration settings available on the ProjectCommanderReader class.
