[izpack-users] Log4j Integration in IzPack

[Bartz, Klaus]

Hi Suresh,
the way using the jar file as container for own properties files is a
work-around. Normally
IzPack only supports resources in a special subdir named "res", you
know.
If you would add something to a jar file use the jar program. Also
possible is to use a zipper.
For replacing a particular file in a jar, war, ear we use on Windows the
total comander. With
it it is possible e.g. to change a log level in a properties file in a
jar file "on the fly", not needed
a rebuild of the installer.
If it is a often recurring an ant process can help for the build and
there it is no problem to 
create a jar which contains the properties etc.
To do it is not mission of an installer builder, you see. 
 
Cheers
 
Klaus

	Hi Klaus,
	
	Thanks for the information. I tried this and it worked for me
:-)
	But, adding properties  file to jar is not ok; I mean, every
time I modify the log level in properties file I need to archive it.
	Can't we the files (not only properties but, any other format)
directly?? 
	
	Thanks & Regards,
	Suresh
