[izpack-devel] Submission: Adding ability to modify the left hand side "image"

[Ryan Shillington]

Hello everybody,
 
Forgive me for submitting code without having proposed it first.  In a
very complex installer that we're developing here at Troux (
http://www.troux.com) that is based on IzPack, we need to be able to
display an "LED" look on the left hand side that shows the progress of
the install (and is different depending on which packs were chosen to be
installe).  Here's a graphic to give you an idea what our installer
looks like while it is configuring everything:

The tricky bit is that our custom panel that's doing the configuration
needs to be able to modify the left hand image dynamically - not
statically.  To do this, I modified com.izforge.izpack.InstallerFrame so
that it used a JPanel with a background for the picture, instead of an
ImageIcon.  Then I made the JPanel available to custom panels.  Here's
the diff vs. what's shipping today:

And here are the 2 files that would need to be checked in:
 
http://thebookhauler.com/izpack/InstallerFrame.java
http://thebookhauler.com/izpack/JPanelWithBackground.java
 
Since I don't have CVS access to IzPack, I can't check in these changes.
Could somebody here look these changes over and see if they meet your
criteria?  This gives developers a lot more flexibility when creating
very complex installs.
 
Thank in advance,
 
Ryan
