Examples and additional notes

Related issue: TASKSJAVA-980 - Support for removing Macros in MS project.

MPPSaveOptions.setClearVba( boolean ) method can be used to specify that VBA macros should be removed when saving a project to MPP format:

Project project = new Project("fileWithVBA.mpp");
MPPSaveOptions options = new MPPSaveOptions();
options.setClearVba(true);
project.save("cleared.mpp", options);

Related issue: TASKSNET-11170 - Add writing of Group definitions to MPP format.

Starting with this release group data can be written to an MPP (MS Project 2003 and newer formats) file. Please note that MPPSaveOptions.setWriteGroups( true ) should be invoked in order to write group data. Otherwise, original group data will persist.
