Hi I'm a new user and I just started to look into izpack 5.0.0-beta10. I can do a GUI install but I'm having some trouble with an unattended install. When I run my installer like:

$ java -jar myapp-installer.jar -options auto-install.xml (auto-install.xml being a generated XML file)

The result is:

[ Console installation done ]

But in fact nothing got installed.

The contents of auto-install.xml is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<AutomatedInstallation langpack="eng">
<HelloPanel id="UNKNOWN (HelloPanel)"/>
<TargetPanel id="UNKNOWN (TargetPanel)">
<installpath>/home/taro.fukunaga/myapp</installpath>
</TargetPanel>
<InstallPanel id="UNKNOWN (InstallPanel)"/>
<ProcessPanel id="UNKNOWN (ProcessPanel)"/>
<FinishPanel id="UNKNOWN (FinishPanel)"/>
</AutomatedInstallation>

I've been searching around for more information to do an unattended install. One of these is http://docs.codehaus.org/display/IZPACK/Unattended+Installations . I'm not so sure what I'm doing wrong since there's no logs, error messages, etc.

Hi,

I just want to report that I was able to successfully do an automated install izpack-installer 5.0.0-beta10 (on CentOS 5.7 and Java 7) with the latest and greatest izpack-maven-plugin 5.0.0-beta11-SNAPSHOT. The command-line changed slightly and now I just type:

java -jar installer.jar auto-install.xml
