While “googling” around the web I found an interesting application. It is a Java-based project management tool. It is called OpenProj and it is able to work with Microsoft Project files. I only tried with one MPP file and it worked fine. Since it is a Java application it works in any platform which is always nice
The main thing that I didn’t like about this software (during my 15 minutes experience, lol)was the language settings. OpenProj changes its language into you OS language and I didn’t find any option in the menu or any configuration file where I can change it to a custom language. It would be nice to have OpenProj in English but now I am bounded with PT-BR version which is very different from PT-PT
Projity (the company that developed OpenProj) also has a SaaS application to host you project management solution. It is called Project on Demand.

on windows create a openproj.cmd where the openproj.jar lives and put the following inside (asuming the dir where your javaw binary lives is in your %PATH%):
start javaw -Duser.language=en -Xms128m -Xmx768m -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel -jar openproj.jar
and you get an english version with the windows look&feel
thank you, thomas way works for me
