izpack and build.properties

Does anyone know how to pass build properties to izpack in ANT.

I have a working izpack install in ANT and it works fine but I have to remember to manually put in thing like version number etc.. which are in my build.properties file.

TIA

Solution

  • You can reference Ant properties using the @{} syntax in IzPack install definitions:

    <installation version="1.0">
      <!-- Ant properties in this file can be referenced with @{},
           otherwise use variables below in installer files with ${} -->
      <info>
        <appname>@{product.name}</appname>
        <appversion>@{product.version}</appversion>
        <uninstaller name="remove.task" path="${INSTALL_PATH}/Uninstall" write="yes"/>
      </info>
...
