Hi Klaus,

Thanks for the quick response. Could you give me a hint, how to comile my
own Listener? Looking into the build.xml a saw a makro <macrodef
name="build-installer-listener">..</makro>. Do I only have to change the
name etc? How do I cal this marko? In the doku stands something about an
atncall, but every time I try to insert this into the build xml, it won't
compile.

My Listerner is in the package src/lib/herbie/install

The data container which will be present during the hole
installation is an object of the class InstallData. There is
only one object of it. The non-GUI-base-class is AutomatedInstallData.
In a panel which will be derived from IzPanel you can access
via the class member idata.
In a custom action derived from SimpleInstallerListener there is
the getter getInstalldata().
To store informations from one panel to an other (or to a custom
action) it is common to store this information as property, means:

String value = "das was ich mir merken will";
idata.setVariable("myIdentifier", value);

example: JDKPathPanel.java line 102.

To access in a panel:

String myValue = idata.getVariable("myIdentifier");

example: JDKPathPanel.java line 118.

To access in a custom action:

String myValue = getInstalldata().getVariable("myIdentifier");

example: RegistryInstallerListener.java line 138 (little bit complex)

In custom actions there is often an access to all variables:

Properties vars = getInstalldata().getVariables();

You can use SummaryLoggerInstallerListener.afterPacks as an
example for getVariables and other things from InstallData.

Do not try to access the panel objects directly. It will be possible
with some hacks, but you will catch more problems you would have.
This is the common way not only in IzPack. MSI has a "near by mimik".

Hope it helps

Klaus
