What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. I'm afraid I don't know what caused this, I have attached the file (a 
previous version - I lost the one I was working on).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Not crashing would be great, but failing that I expect it to save before 
crashing, or have a backup file someonewhere and tell me where it is when it 
crashes.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Gantt Project 2.0.9 on Windows 7 (64bit). I can't see what jvm it's using, but 
I have the one from Oracle (Sun) installed - so I guess it's that.

Please provide any additional information below.

I see there is no option in the settings for making automatic backups. That 
would be great, let me know if you want me to file afeature request for that.

Thanks for the stack trace, and sorry for breaking your work.

The irony is that this particular stack trace means that GP failed to write a 
file which technically is not a backup, but which it saves on every undoable 
action (to be able to undo) and which is a full copy of a project file. 

You may try looking into the TEMP directory on your system (sorry, don't 
remember from the top of my head where that directory is on Windows) and search 
for files with names matching the pattern "_GanttProject_qSave*.gan". Try 
opening one with the modification date closest to the crash timestamp.

I guess that based on what you've said it would make sense to make that backup 
file more easily accessible? If Gantt Project records that it has crashed it 
could on next startup ask the user if they want to try and open the temp file. 
This is not an unusual way of dealing with a crash.

Should I note this suggestion in a different bug?
