Hi all, I already used izpack a bit in the past and am now back to some new use of it. Might be because I had had a good experience with it :). I'm trying to install an eclipse rcp app. This time I have some more requirements with my installer.
At the end of the process, I would like to let the user directly start the app. I guess you'll agree this is a feature commonly met at the end of an installation. Is it possible? Has someone already created such installer with izpack? I tried putting a ProcessPanel after the FinishPanel (because I planned using the automated installation, great great out-of-the-box feature!). But, here's the current behaviour: * with GUI=> The FinishPanel is the 4/5 step, when I click on finish, it really seems to end up the installation process. The file that should be executed doesn't even start. * With automated installation (saved in the previous case thanks to FinishPanel), the process starts well, but the installation stays locked until it is closed. Here's the output: C:\...>java -jar install-definition.jar automatisation.xml [ Starting automated installation ] [ Starting to unpack ] [ Processing package: CGA (1/1) ] [ Unpacking finished ] [ Starting processing ] Starting process lancement-cga (1/1) log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (fr.mipih.foundation.spring.context.PluginApplicationContext). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly. IT BLOCKS HERE UNTIL I CLOSE MY APP (.exe eclipse rcp application) [ Processing finished ] [ Writing the uninstaller data ... ] [ Automated installation done ] I guess the ProcessPanel was designed to do something for the installation. So it waits for the process ending. Some questions: - Is there any option that would spawn the process without waiting for it? - Should I extend ProcessPanel? (or patch it, if you wish) - Is there another Panel I should use for this use case? - More generally speaking with izpack, I seem to understand there should never be something after the FinishPanel since it ends the installation process. Am I wrong? Thanks a lot for your help.
