[izpack-users] Unix formatted files are not copied from Windows

[Kevin Hartig]

Iain,

You should be able to use something like the following:
in your install.xml file include

<resources>
    <res id="ProcessPanel.Spec.xml" src="installer/process_panel.xml"/>
</resources>

to specify the configuration file for the Process panel step in the 
install which allows running scripts. In the process_panel.xml file 
include something like the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes" ?>
<processing>

    <logfiledir>$INSTALL_PATH</logfiledir>

    <job name="Windows scripts">
        <os family="windows"/>

        <executefile name="windows_script.bat">
            <!-- arguments to pass into the script -->
            <arg>1</arg> 
            <arg>2</arg>
        </executefile>
    </job>

    <job name="Windows scripts">
        <os family="windows"/>

        <executefile name="windows_script.bat">
            <!-- arguments to pass into the script -->
            <arg>1</arg> 
            <arg>2</arg>
        </executefile>
    </job>

    <job name="Unix scripts">
        <os family="unix"/>

        <executefile name="unix_script.sh">
            <!-- arguments to pass into the script -->
            <arg>1</arg> 
            <arg>2</arg>
        </executefile>
    </job>

</processing>

Hope this helps.

-kevin.
