I have a 25997040 Mb IzPack based installer available on sourceforge:
 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jboss/jboss-4.0.2-installer.jar?downl
oad
 
that illustrates the direction we are looking to head in terms of a much
more flexible installation packaging. This is a default configuration
footprint for the jboss-4.0.2 release. Note that this requires java5 to
install as I was screwing around with some java5 features in the
installation callback listener. After downloading, install with

java -jar jboss-4.0.2-installer.jar

Issues:
- I have only tested that full installation starts up. If you minimize
the install be deselecting components there may well be missing
dependencies that result in startup failures.
- The binding-service really is not a standalone service on which other
components depend, because it has to be active before any component it
is to reconfigure is deployed to the jmx kernel. The binding-service
should really be a configuration aspect of the SARDeployer.
- The jdbc-metadata-service.xml seems to have dependency issues. If you
associate the the standardjbosscmp-jdbc.xml with the ejb-deployer.xml,
then you have the jdbc rars depending on jdbc-metadata-service.xml which
depends on ejb-deployer.xml which depends on a data source deployment
which depends on a jdbc rar. I guess the question dependency is from the
jdbc rar to the metadata library service.
- Need alternate groups of services to allow a jms-ha installation vs
regular jms for example.
- There should be customization of the component installs to add
security, alternate ports, etc. Each component could have its own
customization panel to support the change of commonly altered settings.
- Ultimately want to look at a full jems installer with most components
available for download over the network to allow for a very small
microkernel install with enterprise pojo framework installation as
desired.
