Softango review
A professional and easy-to-use tool which allows you to create reliable setup packages for Java applications for deployment on Windows platform.
wItem Installer for Java will give you all the functionality you need to easily create and distribute a Java appllication.
With unregistered version of wItem Installer for Java you have unlimited rights to produce installers for both commercial and non-commercial products.
There are absolutely no limitations in the functionality, and none of those annoying «nag screens» in the software. Windows Installer packages producing by this version will have «Freeware» strings on the dialogs.
wItem Installer for Java 2.2.1 is a neat tool that creates setup packages for Java applications on the Windows platform. This application can be used for commercial or non-commercial purposes without registering. The unregistered version has no limits regarding functionality and no reminder screens. Installer packages using the freeware version has freeware strings on the dialogs. This is a cost saving program to setup and distribute Java applications.
The feature I was most impressed with was the professional look it gave the install package. The look and feel integrated well with the Windows platform. This allows all advantages that Microsoft offers by using the Windows Installer Service. The flexibility for both Windows and Mac developers is the ability to create installer packages as well for the Mac OS X.
Java packages can seem cumbersome and intimidating to novice users. The beauty of the wItem application is that it takes a Java program and seamlessly creates the familiar .exe file. Since users can be put off by Java apps, the feature of being able to keep this hidden is invaluable.
Web-based Java application installers were a snap as well. Browser-based desktop apps can be complicated to setup an install for, as it is a hybrid. wItem fixes those issues using server-side technology that is portable, such as HTML files or JSP servlets.
Using Windows Installer ensures flexibility and customization of the features of the installer. I can control the way the installer behaves by only using Java code.
Overall, the features that the freeware or shareware versions offer make this installer package a great value. I found the ease of use, the intuitive screens and the general flexibility and integration into desktop and web-based apps add up to a highly functional and effective application.
