At this stage, depending on your specific needs, there are several options you can consider for the architecture of your application:

Replace the default data source with your own classes to feed the data model.

This option is easy to implement and provides the flexibility you need to accommodate your own type of data. The library contains default implementations for common data sources, such as XML or JDBC. For other requirements, you can create your own implementation.

Create your own data model and apply the specified style.

This option is recommended for advanced users who need to reuse existing objects and minimize overhead. The library contains several implementations of commonly used data models. For advanced requirements, you can write your own implementation of the IlvGanttModel interface.

Developing with the JViews Gantt SDK presents these different concepts in detail and guides you through different options and steps.
