I worked on a Java project in which web services are used, values are to be modified in registry and there are some DLLs to be register with system. there are some environment variables to set, at the time of installation, keeping in mind these requirements , which Java installer is best, i also need a installer which is platform independent as my Java project is platform independent.
I think i may use IzPack
but i think you guys can help me better and suggest me an installer.
I would use IzPack, its a great tool which bundles your installer in a jar. platform independent and with the possibility to only use some routines when special conditions a present. For example, only install DLL on Windows, mess with the registry (Custom Action) and so on.
I always enjoyed using IzPack and suggest you should give it a try. The doc is also a great resource for the possibilities Doc
