[izpack-users] Installation from multiple source jars

[Joe Littlejohn]

Hi Julien,

Thanks for the reply. What exactly do you mean by 

> You can have the files out of packs (e.g., on a CD), you can have

This sounds promising, are there any docs or examples for this? Could I
have, for instance, a structure like:

app1-install.jar (executable IzPack installation jar, installs app 1)
app2-install.jar (executable IzPack installation jar, installs app 2)
app3-install.jar (executable IzPack installation jar, installs app 3)
/jars/ (folder containing jar files re-used by all three)
