[izpack-users] Problem with the os attribute 'windows'

[Klaus Bartz]

Hi Thilo,
in the moment unfortunately not. The used xml parser (nanoxml)
is not able to validate but will crash often if a dtd is referenced
in install.xml.
For a while we have discussed it but not implemented. It will be not only
the usage of an other xml parser because if we change it we would also
validate the other xml files like e.g. the one for the short cuts or the
UserInputPanel. That will be a little bit tricky because they are
not parsed at compile (package time).
Validating all the xml files is on the todo list for new IzPack
versions. But I do not know at what time we can realize it.

Cheers

Klaus
