[izpack-users] izpack copies very slowly the files contained in a pack

[Miraodb]

Hi Hernan,

I've crossed that problem a times.
And every single time it was related to the java version i used.
Which one do you use on the OS for which the installation is slow ?

There's also something that i found out, when you try to copy a pack such as
a JRE for instance, the amount of files is so big (even though they're
small...) that it slow down the process.

Can you tell me how many files and folders you have in your pack ?

>Also, is there a way to look the insides of a pack to check if the contents
>are right?

I don't understand that question.... :-(

Cheers,
fabrice

Hi, I'm creating an installer that has 3 packs to copy to the
$INSTALL_PATH.  In my windows box they are copied normally, though the third
one is a bit slower than the other 2, but in linux the same 3 pack takes a
very long while to copy (the pack is about 30 Mb and it lasts about an hour
to copy).  I've also noticed that CPU load is more than 90% for the izpack
java process..  what can I be doing wrong?

The pack declaration is:

        <pack name="matri" required="yes" os="unix">
            <description>Aplication Files</description>
            <file src="matrinstall" targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH"/>
            <fileset dir="" targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH">
              <include name="matri.sh"/>
              <include name="cleanup.sh"/>
            </fileset>
            <parsable
targetfile="$INSTALL_PATH/matrinstall/ant.properties"/>
            <parsable targetfile="$INSTALL_PATH/matri.sh"/>
        </pack>

Also, is there a way to look the insides of a pack to check if the contents
are right? Thx very much!
