Download build 829 We are glad to announce that BuildDesk 2.0 is open for public early access. For this time we implemented NetBeans project importing. It's still under development but it already works fine: So on the start page you will see a new option: It will pop up the NetBeans import dialog: And the rest of the BuildDesk's magic is the same, no matter if you imported IntelliJ IDEA project or NetBeans. We are also improving many other features such as installer custom steps and custom properties support. All of that will be available in nearest early access builds. So keep in touch, we will be back soon with more features!

BuildDesk has been chosen to be an IntelliJ IDEA companion product. This is a terrific recognition of BuildDesk by JetBrains, the creators of IntelliJ IDEA and we are very proud of it.

Check it out - "Build in 5 minutes" video. Just within 5 minutes we show how to make a build script that compiles, packs, layouts, obfuscates, generates native apps and makes native Windows installer. This video just highlights some major BuildDesk's features, just to get to know how much speed and fun we have with BuildDesk. Please enjoy and post your feedback!

BuilldDesk's issue tracker system is now public: http://jetbrains.net/jira/browse/BDP. Please use it as a reference to what's going on and to submit your issues as well.

Download BuildDesk 1.2 BuildDesk 1.2 is released! Major improvements are:

• No eval licenses - just download and play with BuildDesk! You don't have to own a copy of IntelliJ IDEA - BuildDesk contains a sample project. So play with it and remember that NetBeans/Eclipse support is coming! Same things will be available very soon for both IDEs.
• Complete support of IntelliJ IDEA. BuildDesk imports everything what's required to build (modules/libraries/dependencies/JDKs/compiler settings), successfully compiles module cycles, source roots with prefixes, nested roots, resolves global data (global libraries/ignored files/) and many more. If you spent time configuring your IntelliJ IDEA project, you won't do the same things again -- BuildDesk will build your project.
• Many usability improvements and improved error highlighting. With BuildDesk you always know where the problem is with your build. Just look, isn't it nice?

Please enjoy! We've already started adding new features for 1.5 so keep in touch!

We just released our first piece of documentation for BuildDesk: Getting Started with BuildDesk. Please enjoy!

Download build 619 Early access for 1.5 is started! Since now, for this early access version and further release builds no evaluation license is required to run BuildDesk. So you just download and run it in demo mode. "Demo mode" means that you cannot save your generated build.xml file yet can run it from the BuildDesk's user interface. Here are first new features:

• If your project is compiled by different JDKs with different language levels -- BuildDesk will handle it
• If BuildDesk cannot find global data it needs to know about (JDKs, global libraries or libraries from IDEA's distribution) -- it will bring up a dialog to ask you about where IDEA is installed to. It's pretty old feature, but now it's enchanced with a useful link to show what's really missing:

Apart from this news, we are glad to announce that BuildDesk is going to be part of JetBrains' companion program. As always, any suggestions and opinions are welcomed at the BuildDesk discussion group
