[izpack-users] How to pass the information about selected packs to Ant?

[Bartz, Klaus]

Hi Stefan,
yes, it is possible.
The simplest is to use the custom action 
AntActionInstallerListener
There you need two xml files, one "normal" ant task file and
one file which describes what to call in what manner from ant.
The dtd of the secound file you can find at
$IzPackInstallation/src/dtd/event/antaction.dtd
,if you have installed src package of IzPack...
There you can see, that a antcall depends on the pack. You can
declare properties or a propertyfile here for ant. You can
use IzPack variables at this point (normaly not in the ant 
task script).

An other way will be to give ant a property which contains
whether the interested pack was selected or not. For this
you need a custom action or a custom panel to shift the
information into a IzPack variable which you send to ant.
The selected packs are in
idata.selectedPacks

Cheers

Klaus
