[izpack-users] Multiple shortcuts creation

[Mark Hoogenboom]

LS,

When creating multiple shortcuts, I found the order in which I specified
them mattered.

The following shortcutSpec.xml (extracted from the installer file) creates
three shortcuts, of which the first two have the target biblio.jar and the
third has the target biblio-uninstall.jar:

<shortcuts>
  <programGroup location="startMenu" name="Marbo/App" />
  <shortcut name="App" description="Start App"
target="$INSTALL_PATH/biblio.jar" workingDir="$INSTALL_PATH"
iconFile="$INSTALL_PATH/lib/start.ico" programGroup="yes" desktop="yes" />
  <shortcut name="Manual" description="App manual"
target="$INSTALL_PATH/manual.pdf" workingDir="$INSTALL_PATH"
iconFile="$INSTALL_PATH/lib/manual.ico" programGroup="yes" />
  <shortcut name="Uninstall" description="Uninstall App"
target="$INSTALL_PATH/Uninstaller/biblio-uninstall.jar"
workingDir="$INSTALL_PATH/Uninstaller"
iconFile="$INSTALL_PATH/lib/uninstall.ico" programGroup="yes" />
</shortcuts>

However, this shortcutSpec.xml creates the shortcuts with the right targets:

 <shortcuts>
  <programGroup location="startMenu" name="Marbo/App" />
  <shortcut name="Manual" description="App manual"
target="$INSTALL_PATH/manual.pdf" workingDir="$INSTALL_PATH"
iconFile="$INSTALL_PATH/lib/manual.ico" programGroup="yes" />
  <shortcut name="App" description="Start App"
target="$INSTALL_PATH/biblio.jar" workingDir="$INSTALL_PATH"
iconFile="$INSTALL_PATH/lib/start.ico" programGroup="yes" desktop="yes" />
  <shortcut name="Uninstall" description="Uninstall App"
target="$INSTALL_PATH/Uninstaller/biblio-uninstall.jar"
workingDir="$INSTALL_PATH/Uninstaller"
iconFile="$INSTALL_PATH/lib/uninstall.ico" programGroup="yes" />
 </shortcuts>

In both cases the ShortcutPanel doesn't give a default Program Group and the
working directory of the created shortcuts is empty. The installer is build
and run on Windows XP / Java 5.

I think Izpack is a great tool  and I would really appreciate it if someone
could shed some light on these issues.

Thanks
Mark
