[izpack-users] ClassCastException with custom listeners

[Steve Dodge]

Hello,

I'm thinking that my explanation is too complicated.  Let me  
simplify.  I've created a compiler listener and installer listener.   
I've added those to my install.xml.  Since I'm using the standalone- 
compiler, I set  the "jar" attribute.  The compiler listener runs as  
expected, but when the installer is running, it gets a  
ClassCastException because my compiler listener is incorrectly placed  
in the collection of InstallerListener objects.

Thanks,
Steve
