[izpack-users] Define Install Path in a txt resource WITHOUT TargetPanel appearance

[J-Pro]

Dear Klaus, I'm using Intellij IDEA 6.0 for compiling your code.
I have changed two src-files and one property file:


========================
-------------
InstallerBase.java (for case of any unwanted exception):
-------------

was:

catch (Exception err)
{
       dpath = new StringBuffer("C:\\Program Files");
}

became:

catch (Exception err)
{
            dpath = new StringBuffer("C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software 
Foundation\\Tomcat 5\\webapps\\myapp");
}

-------------
win32-defaultpaths.properties (as you advised):
-------------

was: en=Program Files
became: en=Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5\webapps\myapp


-------------
TargetFactory.java (after I tried your advice, I decided to try and this 
variant):
-------------

was: static final String[] INSTALL_PATH_FRAGMENT = { "Program Files" + 
File.separator, "/Applications" + File.separator, "/usr/local" + 
File.separator, File.separator + "apps" + File.separator};

became: static final String[] INSTALL_PATH_FRAGMENT = { "Program Files" + 
File.separator + "Apache Software Foundation" + File.separator + "Tomcat 5" 
+ File.separator + "webapps" + File.separator + "myapp", "/Applications" + 
File.separator, "/usr/local" + File.separator, File.separator + "apps" + 
File.separator};
========================


After correcting these files I rebuilded these files and pached them into 
installer.jar instead of old. Then wrote in cmd: "compile install.xml -b 
. -o myapp.jar -k standard" - and nothing changed. When I use TargetPanel to 
check what do I have as a default path - there is still "C:\Program Files".

What can you advise me as a developer? I suppose I don't understand 
something...

Thank you for your help.
