[izpack-users] install pack based on complex conditions (repost)

Hi,

There're two possibilities to solve this problem.
1. a) Use a PackSelectionPanel
   b) define a packselectioncondition like this: 
       <condition type="packselection" id="pack1selected">
            <packid>pack1</packid>
       </condition>
      and the negated one: (in the current trunk, this is optional)
       <condition type="not" id="notpack1selected">
             <condition type="ref" refid="pack1selected"/>
       </condition>
      Note, that there has to be a pack in install.xml with id pack1
   c) Use a panelcondition like the following to show the user input
panel:
      <panelcondition panelid="pack1pathselection"
conditionid="notpack1selected" />

      with the current trunk, you can also write:
      <panelcondition panelid="pack1pathselection" conditionid="!
pack1selected" />

Regards,
   Dennis
