Compilation fixes and installer generator enhancements

Friday, March 31st, 2006
Download build 308 We received feedback on projects that didn't manage to compile, so first of all this is a bug fix build. Installer generator now generates two additonal pages:
  • Shortcuts for quick launching
  • "Run now" page after installation
In the nearest feature there will be two very cool features: easy bundling of JRE for windows packages and ability to insert custom ant calls right to the BuildDesk execution flow. These features should cover lots of cases where switching to BuildDesk is not that convenient for now.
