[izpack-users] How does variable substitution work?

[RAMOS lionel]

Hi guys,

I have moreover the same problem with the variable substitution but all in
the install.xml

I declare a variable
<variable name="TomcatVersion" value="tomcat-5.5"/>

and in <pack> tag I want to use like this:

<file targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH" src="dnabi-install/${TomcatVersion}"/>

But he don't replace the variable...
Any tips? Because for me it's very usefull

Thanks in advance,
lionel
