Let It Build!

Download BuildDesk 1.5 BuildDesk 1.5 has a new major feature - launcher/installer project. Regardless of the IDE you use, if you already build jars with your own scripts, you can ask BuildDesk to perform obfuscation, build native launchers and pack your application to ready-to-deploy packages. It is that simple and takes just a couple of minutes to configure building your project to a professional package. Development of the version 2.0 has already started. It will include a full-fledged NetBeans support, support for IntelliJ IDEA 6.0 and other cool enhancements for the build process. Please enjoy! Download BuildDesk and give a try! In case of questions and feature requests please send your feedback to the BuildDesk discussion group.

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 build 720 We have done a new early access build which includes a brand new feature: installer/launcher project. This feature presumes that you are not an IntelliJ IDEA user and have your own build.xml for your project that performs compilation. So BuildDesk simply helps you to layout jars, arm them with native launchers, perform obfuscation and package ready-to-deploy installer. So here is a new item right on the Welcome page: Very simple. In minutes. Please enjoy!

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!
