[izpack-users] Execute Java Class

[macke]

Hi!

First you have to specify in your install.xml, that you want to use the
ProcessPanel: 
<panels>
...
<panel classname="ProcessPanel"/>
...
</panels>

In the resources section of install.xml you have to tell where the xml for
it is:

    	<resources>
                .....
		<!-- what has the ProcessPanel to do -->
		<res id="ProcessPanel.Spec.xml" src="PATH/TO/ProcessPanel.Spec.xml"/>
    	</resources>

And you have to include your class. Easiest way is to generate a JAR file
including your class. In the install.xml you have then to add the line, e.g.
<jar src="PATH/TO/WriteProperties.jar"/>

In the ProcessPanel.Spec.xml you have to write:
<processing>
<job name="name of teh job">
<os family="windows" />
<executeclass name="com.izforge.izpack.util.WriteProperties"> <!-- this is
an example! as you see you have to write the package path to your class. If
you don't use packages, only write WriteProperties  -->
<arg>arg1</arg>
...
</executeclass>
</processing>

Hope this helps. 

regards,
Macke
