[izpack-devel] [Patch] Improvement to execution of Java files using execution tag

[Andreas Guenther]

Hi,

I recently submitted a patch that allows to specify a real Java 
classpath within the executable tag using the targetfile attribute, also 
avoiding a chmod on Unix. First of all, thanks for committing this to 
trunk. Now, I am proposing a patch to further improve my previous work.

Basically, the attached patch takes care of two things:

#1 Allow Java classpath specification in targetfile attribute using 
either : or ; delimiter and still work across multiple OS. Currently, if 
you e.g. use the : delimiter, a Windows installation will fail.

#2 Support classpath loading of all jar files within a given folder, 
e.g. targetfile="$INSTALL_PATH/lib/allMyJars".

I implemented this because we use the execution tag quite often in our 
install.xml and hardcoding many jar files makes it hard to maintain the 
file. Sometimes I don't even know that new files are needed and 
dynamically loading it from our lib location is quite nice then. It'll 
be great if this can be added to the core.

Best,
-Andreas
