[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBDS-1268) Request: Complete Automated Install using XML

[Will Dinyes (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-1268?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12535788#action_12535788 ] 

Will Dinyes commented on JBDS-1268:
-----------------------------------

Since this is not a Bug, there's no Steps To Reproduce section, so I'll add that as a comment:

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Install JBDS 3 normally, with "java -jar jbdevstudio-3.0.0.GA.jar"
    - note the $INSTALL_DIR used.
2. Once install is completed, copy InstallConfigRecord.xml from $INSTALL_DIR to user's home directory
3. Uninstall JBDS 3 via shortcut
4. Re-run install with "java -jar jbdevstudio-3.0.0.GA.jar ~/InstallConfigRecord.xml"
5. Note that the install runs without prompts, and installs to $INSTALL_DIR, but no other customizations are included, and no shortcuts are created.

>             Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio)
>          Issue Type: Feature Request
>          Components: installer
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.0.GA
>         Environment: Java 1.6 (Sun), RHEL 5.5
>            Reporter: Will Dinyes
>         Attachments: InstallConfigRecord.xml

>
> Currently, the install process outputs an InstallConfigRecord.xml file, which for a general IzPack install, would contain all the information needed to repeat the install in exactly the same way, but without prompts.  
> However, the output file does not currently contain all the required info.  The only sections included are the install path, and JBDS short cut panel.  When using this file to perform an automated install via:
> java -jar jbdevstudio-3.0.0.GA.jar InstallConfigRecord.xml
> The install goes to the right directory, but the short cut does not appear to be created.
> It would be great if this file could be used to automate an installation.  In my particular case, the reason is that we will have instructors and students doing weekly installs of the software, and if we could streamline that process, it would free up more time for learning how to use the dev tools (which are great, by the way).
