[izpack-users] Simple question about PathInputPanel

[Christopher D. Jones]

I have extended the PathInputPanel to make a custom panel to select a
directory needed for my installation.
The problem I am having is I cannot figure out how to set the label on the
panel.  The panel shows up but it looks like the default target install
panel.
I am sure I am missing something simple, so any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Here is my Java code:

package com.izforge.izpack.panels;

import javax.swing.JLabel;

import com.izforge.izpack.installer.InstallData;
import com.izforge.izpack.installer.InstallerFrame;

/**
 * Input panel for the data path.
 *
 */
public class DataPathPanel extends PathInputPanel {

    /**
     *  The constructor.
     *
     * @param  parent  The parent window.
     * @param  idata   The installation data.
     */
    public DataPathPanel(InstallerFrame parent, InstallData idata) {
        super(parent, idata);
        headline = "FUBAR headline";
        headLineLabel = new JLabel ("FUBAR headlinelabel");
    }

    /**
     *  Indicates whether the panel has been validated or not.
     *
     * @return    Whether the panel has been validated or not.
     */
    public boolean isValidated() {
        if (!super.isValidated())
            return (false);
        System.out.println ("isValidated");
        String chosenPath = pathSelectionPanel.getPath();
        if (chosenPath == null || chosenPath.length() < 1)
            return (false);
        idata.setVariable("DATA_DIRECTORY", chosenPath);

        return (true);
    }

    /* (non-Javadoc)
     * @see com.izforge.izpack.installer.IzPanel#panelActivate()
     */
    public void panelActivate() {
        super.panelActivate();
        // Resolve and set the default for chosenPath
        String chosenPath;
        // common lines for back steps...
        if (idata.getVariable("DATA_DIRECTORY") != null)
            chosenPath = idata.getVariable("DATA_DIRECTORY");
        else
            chosenPath = idata.getInstallPath();
        pathSelectionPanel.setPath(chosenPath);
    }

    /* (non-Javadoc)
     * @see com.coi.tools.install.panels.SummaryPanelClient#getSummaryBody()
     */
    public String getSummaryBody() {
        return (String) (idata.getVariable("DATA_DIRECTORY"));
    }
}

And here is my install file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes" ?>

<!--
    To compile it :
    - go in the bin directory where you installed IzPack
    - call "compile ../sample/install.xml -b ../sample"

<installation version="1.0">

    <!--

    <str id="DataPathPanel.intro" txt="For the application configuration

    </panels>

    <!--

    </packs>

</installation>
