[izpack-users] Generating Applications uninstalls

[J-Pro]

Hi, Klaus.

Thanks for the answer.

First, I should say that english is not my native language so some things 
are hard to understand. Can I ask you some questions please?

I've found two "uninstall" occurrences in IzPack doc.

1. Ant Actions (InstallerListener and UninstallerListener)
2. Custom Actions at Uninstallation Time (UninstallerListener)

1. As I've understood - it's only for developers who uses Ant and for 
developers who want to customize their application uninstall by changing 
IzPack source code, right?

But I use Intellij IDEA 6.0 to compile IzPack sources. I don't use Ant. Can 
this part(Ant Actions (InstallerListener and UninstallerListener)) still 
help me to add custom acts while uninstalling like remove custom files, 
other than installed packs?

2. As I've understood - I should  extend 
com.izforge.izpack.event.SimpleUninstallerListener in a newly created class 
[IzPackRoot]/src/lib/[MyPackagePath]/MyUninstallerListener.java. Then I 
should add some custom actions in the code, right? So this is the only one 
way to make custom actions while uninstalling(like remove custom files, 
other than installed packs)?


So, as I've understood - there is no way to make custom actions while 
uninstalling(like remove custom files, other than installed packs) but the 
way of RE-compiling IzPack source, right? I mean I can't just write some 
uninstall.xml file and write there some file executions like in install.xml 
or ProcessPanel.Spec.xml?

Please unswer these questions, it's very important to me... I really try to 
understand it by myself, using the doc, but not all things are so easy for 
me.

Thank you very much in advance!
