Active Maker is a utility for building and managing multiple cross-referenced Microsoft Visual Basic projects. It minimizes development time by tracking the projects. cross-references automatically. Active Maker is designed to dramatically reduce time and effort in large MS Visual Basic projects development. Using Active Maker in complex projects (more than 30 components) saves up to 15-25% of integration and sustaining effort. Active Maker will be very usefull in your build process if: - your product consists of more than one Visual Basic Project; - your product utilizes component-centric development process (ActiveX components); - you need to build product version(s) very frequently; - you want a build of multiple VB project to last less than 1 man-hour. Active Maker allows to: - eliminate the frustration of manually solving component reference problems; - immediately increase productivity due to fast and automated project building process; - save hours of development time each time a project is built; - point and shoot build compilation with easy to use graphical user interface.
