Console Preferences

The <consolepreferences> element is used to integrate settings that are specific to console-mode.

The consolepreferences element accepts options as sub-elements with the option name as the element name.

Option Value Range Description Default

detectTerminal

true | false

If true or unspecified, IzPack use a JLine ConsoleReader for console mode installations. The ConsoleReader performs auto-recognition of the system terminal settings. In dedicated environments this may not work reliably.

true - terminal settings are detected and the output acts according to the recognized terminal size and newline insertion behavior.
false - assume some "hard-wired" terminal settings (if they do not match your terminal, the output presented to the user won't look that nice, even though this is no critical issue for the installer internally)

true

Example

<consoleprefs>
  <detectTerminal>false</detectTerminal>
