How to use izPack to create an installer

Question

Hi, I installed izPack on the linux operating system. I have my own java application in jar format. I want to create an installer of this jar file for the Linux operating system. I want to show the license agreement when someone wants to install using this installer

So can anyone tell me step by step to create an installer using izpack.

Thanks Sunil Kumar Sahoo

Answer 1

Creating an installer using IzPack is fairly simple and well documented. Unfortunately, the features are highly dependent on the product being installed, so it is best to read the documentation and see the sample .

You wrote that you already have the install.xml file, as described on the izpack home page

So, the next step would be to compile installer.jar from it.

Either you follow the izpack getting started guide or use the plugin to include the izpack action in the deployment process.

There is a plugin for maven (look here http://izpack.codehaus.org/izpack-maven-plugin/usage.html for how to use it) and there is also one for ant, documented on the izpack page. http://izpack.org/documentation/sample-install-definition.html

Answer 4

You need to add.

• File License.txt with the same bin directory level. Now add the following line to the panel
• add a tage panel of type "panel classname =" LicensePanel "" in the panel tag
• add the tage file as "src =" License.txt file "targetdir =" $ INSTALL_PATH "in the" packet "tag.
