I know it's still in alpha, but just asking :) I myself use tj2, so the exporter is tested for that. Initially I had thought that the exporter was also working for tj3 since the differences in the syntax are supposedly very minor. But I've had reports by users that the exporter generates code that doesn't work with tj3. I just installed tj3 and tested it with a generated tjp file. There are a number of problems: you need to replace all occurrences of "purge allocations" with "purge allocate". Also you seem to be required to mark all milestones explicitly (with "milestone"). Thirdly you need to change the report definitions. - The issue with purge allocate needs to be changed in the exporter code. For now you will have to search and replace as mentioned above. - The milestone issue can be dealt with by assigning the milestone property to an item. It would be nicer if this just worked if an item doesn't have an effort property. - The problems with reports can be solved by changing the report definition (via customize)=20 I'll have to work with the taskjuggler list to see if and what we can do about these issues, if we can somehow ease the migration.
