"Its intuitive UI and exceptional ease of use makes it very easy to build complex installers with large amounts of files. The whole process is done step by step through a wizard-like interface, filling in fields and setting up files to finally build your package."

Required: Java 1.6+ for built packages
Powered by Java, IzPack, Nuget, Launch4j, Apache Pivot, Apache Ant and Stax.

What you will need on your machine

• Apache Maven
• Apache Ant: add bcel jar library to the lib folder
• Java JDK 8+

Run the app

One you made modifications, you can run the DCP app from you IDE via the class com.dcp.sm.App as a Java application.

Automated tasks

• build.xml: This ant build file contains tasks to compile and generate the DCP binary for you to test, the binary will be created on the code root path. You can launch dist for a Java distribution and dist.win for a special Windows binary. The clean target can clean all of te generated files from your folder once you finished testing.

• release.xml: This ant build file contain tasks to create the final release packages. The two properties doc.dir and launch4j.dir should be updated according to your own local paths of gh-pages/doc and launch4j install respectively.

Dev on Windows

For Windows developers, you already have the cmd/ folder which contains a batch script file for every step of the release process, going from 0-clean to 5-documentation.
