[izpack-user] Trouble using loose pack

[Craig L. Ching]

Hi all,

To begin with, I'm doing this in maven using the izpack-maven-plugin
version 1.0-alpha-5 which appears to support the new IzPack 4.2.1.

I'm trying to do the following:

<pack name="Java 1.6 JRE" required="yes" loose="true">
<description>Java 1.6 JRE</description>
<file src="jre" targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH"/>
</pack>

Basically, I have a self-extracting zip file that includes a JRE to run
the installer. As part of the installation process, I want IzPack to
copy the jre directory to my installation directory. Is this possible
with loose packs? Or am I doing something wrong? The error I'm getting
is:

Embedded error:
c:\dev\appwise\appwise-install\target\staging\install.xml:103:
c:\dev\appwise\appwise-install\target\staging\jre

It seems like izpack is looking for a jre directory in my staging area.
Maybe I'm not supposed to use <file> with a loose pack?

Here's the stack trace from a 'mvn -e clean install':

All files that should be included in the loose pack must be available at compilation time.
This means that you should hava a jre directory that contains the same files as you pack in the self extracting zip.
It would also possible to write a installer listener (after pack) to copy the jre files.
