Portable DCP Setup Maker

Java developers looking for a simple solution to building open-source software can turn to DCP Setup Maker. Available in both installer and portable editions, the program has an intuitive interface with only four steps that have to be followed for successfully creating Java programs.

You can get started by selecting a folder to scan, which must have the files you want to include in the Java package. An option for refreshing the directory contents is available, in case changes were made to the filesystem in the meantime.

As far as the search is concerned, you can opt for a simple or recursive scan. For advanced users, Portable DCP Setup Maker can apply custom filters with regex. To make this happen, it's necessary to modify the settings.json file.

In the second phase of the Java app development operation, it's possible to define the file properties as well as organize items into groups. For example, you can mark files as required or hidden, or set OS compatibility to Windows, Linux, macOS X, or all platforms.

In the third stage of Portable DCP Setup Maker, you can make the final adjustments to the general info about the Java program (e.g. version, author name, URL), install path, and resources (readme, license logo, side logo).

In the fourth and last phase, you can ask the application to build the Java tool using IzPack or NuGet, depending on your preference. Also, the file can be split into smaller pieces if it's too big. The current project can be saved to file and later opened to pick up where you left off.

All aspects considered, Portable DCP Setup Maker offers a convenient solution for building Java applications. It's wrapped in a clear-cut interface and puts intuitive options at your disposal.
