A SharePoint Solution Package (WSP) creation tool for WSS 3.0 & MOSS 2007

Creating a deployment solution for WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 is not that difficult but can be time consuming. This is caused by creating the manifest.xml and a DDF file. Using makecab.exe creates a WSP file which is you deployment solution. It alreadu doesn't work if you make a little mistake and it takes time to find the errors you made.

Last week i went to London for a business meeting which i was gonna explain how to create a deployment solution project. One of the guys pointed out to me a nice application which does the creation of all above files without even using the makecab.exe tool. The tool is called WSP Builder and is free tool by CodePlex. thanks guys!!!
