[izpack-users] Sharing variable values between panels

[Klaus Bartz]

Hi Laurent,
seems so, you mean the special panel UserInputPanel. There you
can only use IzPack variables for some elements of the spec and
only the value at start time because the spec file will be
evaluated during panel constructor run (this is after the
language selection box for all panels).
You can declare what IzPack variable should be used for a defined
field in UserInputPanel, but you cannot use this variable in a
following UserInputPanel.

One reason why I use custom panels :-)

Cheers

Klaus
