src

the file location (relative path). The src name may contain previously defined static variables (see <variables>).

yes

targetdir

the destination directory, could be something like $INSTALL_PATH/subdirX

yes

os

Limit installation of this particular file only to the given target OS type.

no

"unix" | "windows" | "mac"

override

Whether to overwrite existing files.
Use asktrue or askfalse if the user should be interactively asked what to do and supply default value for non-interactive use. Another possible value is update. It means that the new file is only installed if it's modification time is newer than the modification time of the already existing file (note that this is not a reliable mechanism for updates - you cannot detect whether a file was altered after installation this way.)

no

"true" | "false" | "asktrue" | "askfalse" | "update"
("update")

overrideRenameTo

Globmapper to rename a conflicting file to. This works similar like the <globmapper> in File Name Mappers, whereby the mapper's from attribute is set to the empty string and the to attribute exactly to the value given here. Example: overrideRenameTo=".bak" will rename the target file by appending the suffix .bak instead of overwriting it. The override attribute must be set "true" to activate this feature.

Since IzPack 5.0

no

String - valid globmapper target expression

blockable

For Windows only, ignored on non-Windows systems:
Defines whether and how blocked target files on Windows should be recognized. This might result in pending file operations which require a system reboot. The reboot behavior at the end of an installation for pending file operations can be set using the nested rebootaction in the info element. See above for possible reboot options.

Notes:
Using blockable does not necessarily force you to limit such files on Windows systems. For multi-platform installations there is a compiler warning shown that blockable will be ignored on non-Windows systems.
The native library WinSetupAPI must be explicitely included using this feature.

Possible values:
"none":
No recognition of blocked target files will be done at all, this is the default behavior of previous IzPack versions.
"auto":
Automatic recognition of a blocked target file by the operating system, resulting in leaving a pending file operation to be finished after system reboot. Using auto this applies only for files that are really blocked, the other files are copied normally, which can result in mixed, old and new target files at the end of the installation, unless the system won't be really rebooted.
"force":
Forces target file to be always assumed a blocked, resulting in leaving a pending file operation to be finished after system reboot. Using force this applies for each file, regardless whether it is really blocked during installation. This makes sense if you don't want to mix files old and new files at the end of the installation to not disturbing a running process, but having the complete set of target files installed after system reboot.

Since IzPack 5.0

no

"none" | "auto" | "force"
("none")

unpack

if true and the file is an archive then its content will be unpacked and added as individual files.
Note: Only archives with ZIP compression are supported. This includes jar, war, zip, etc... 

no

"true" | "false"
("false")

condition

Limit installation of this particular file to the given condition, which must be true during the file installation.

no

String - a valid condition ID

casesensitive

Whether to treat the file name case-sensitive.

no

"true" | "false"
("true")

defaultExcludes

Whether to use global default excludes.
Implicit default exclude patterns are typically:

*/~{}
*/##
*/.#
*/%%
*/._

no

"true" | "false"
("true")

followSymLinks

Whether to follow symbolic links on target systems which support them.
Since IzPack 5.0

no

"true" | "false"
("true")
