[izpack-devel] Patch for embedding panel configuration in thesingle install.xml

[Miraodb]

Hi Guyz,

I don't really like this idea.
I think the install.xml should stay as generic as possible.
What i liked with having a seperate xml was that it could be really
personlized and even better you could have a couple of them and just switch
from one to another...

Having the details of the userinput in install.xml is in my opinion not a
good idea. But, heck... i'm not the only one using IzPack so...
Anyone's opinion ??

Also another point... would you then get rid of the current way for
userpinput ? i think that would be trouble for all of the people who got
used to it.
Would you then have both ? that's very confusing and also how could you
managed both definitions ....

Uhm, i'm not sure if we need a vote here but i don't like this idea unless i
didn't get the real message behing this patch.

Anyway, i appreciate of course all the efforts of trying to build something
new and contributing to this community.

Cheers,
Fabrice
