Abstract
Custom application project generators are created to generate specific types of computer application programs using an automated procedure implemented in a customizer tool. The customizer tool creates a custom generator project according to options chosen by a writer from a sequence of generator option selection steps. The custom generator project comprises source code files, templates, and dialogs which the writer can further modify using an editor. The custom generator project is compiled and linked to form a custom application project generator which implements an automated procedure for generating a specific type of application defined by the writer. The custom application project generator interfaces with a services module that provides default user interface and code generation services which can be overridden by the writer.
