PackJacket, a GUI for IzPack

I am pleased to forward the announcement of a new project called PackJacket which is hosted at Sourceforge and that was created by Manodasan Wignarajah and Amandeep Grewal.

PackJacket is a GUI frontend to the IzPack project. It is built with Java Swing and creates an installer for your application. The installers which are created by this program are cross-platform and multi-language. You can use the GUI to create installer fit to your needs.

The PackJacket project is looking for feedback as this is only their first release. PackJacket is published under the terms of the GPLv3 license.

Release of IzPack Maven Plugin 1.0-alpha-1

Our developer Dan Tran has just released the IzPack Maven Plugin version 1.0-alpha-1.

The plugin allows users to build their installers using IzPack, the Maven way.

The plugin is available from Maven Central at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/codehaus/izpack while the plugin site is hosted at http://izpack.codehaus.org/izpack-maven-plugin.

Do not hesitate to report issues to Dan!
