GanttProject

Yes, there are some cases where a Gantt diagram is useful, but you don't need M$-Project. That's when GanttProject enters the scene.

It does the trick: Defining tasks and assigning resources. I personally don't like the GUI very much, I've been working with M$-Project, but it does what I need to do.

Maybe somebody wants to pay a bounty to make them adapt the M$ look & feel?

I agree with the other two reviewers, it is basically just a GANTT chart drawing app. Although I think it's not so bad at this, certainly not MS Project, but still. If you are looking for "real" project management stuff you might want to take a look at Onepoint Project. I compared it to GanttProject and OpenProj and selected it a few weeks ago and so far it lives up to my expectations, let's see... :-)

First of all, you should really ask yourself if a gantt chart is going to be useful to you. I've never seen a case where it was - but hey, you might be first!

I was once confused and thought it would help me. In fact, I also thought "why waste money on MS Project?" when there's a free alternative. Yep - I was mistaken.

This is more like an applet. It's clunky, doesn't look very good and is a pain to edit in. I suspect it's mostly because Java is a bad language to write GUI apps in. Whatever the case, save yourself some aggravation - skip it.
