Hi, Funny you should mention this as I was just pondering this yesterday, so many thanks for posting about IZPack.
We send WARs to our clients, but it would be nice to be able to edit the config files embedded in the WARs, prior to dropping the WAR into the container. At present they drop the WAR into Tomcat, deploy, stop the webapp then edit the config files manually (yuk). Would be great to have an installer, GUI and command line based, that does the deployment more smoothly and can display settings files neatly in panels. I don't think IZPack meets these requirements though, perhaps it can be extended.

We always liked IZPack [1], so the maven-izpack-plugin [2] was a natural next step for us ;-) [1] http://izpack.org/ [2] http://maven-plugins.sourceforge.net/maven-izpack-plugin/index.html Cheers, Manos --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Eurobase International Limited and its subsidiaries (Eurobase) are unable to exercise control over the content of information in E-Mails.
