It is based around an installer compiler that -uses XML files to describe your installation. +IzPack is a one-stop solution for packaging, distributing and deploying +applications. - IzPack is totally independant from the Operating System which runs it. It -is also very modular so that you can easely create and integrate your own -panels (installation steps). +It is fully cross-platform and generates a single installer. As such, +it is an alternative to native solutions such as platform-specific +installers and package managers. - The IzPack homepage is http://izpack.org/ . You can contact the -author: julien.ponge@gmail.com . +IzPack-generated installers only require a Java virtual machine to run. +It is however capable of providing integration with the host operating +systems (e.g., creating desktop shortcuts or editing the Windows registry). - > 2 - Licencing issues < - - The licences used by IzPack or the libraries it uses are available in the -legal folder.
