[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-3446) Add support for IzPack INSTALL_PATH property to predefine installation path

[Denis Golovin (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3446?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13073349#comment-13073349 ] 

Denis Golovin commented on JBDS-3446:
-------------------------------------

There are three modes available for installer:
1. GUI
2. Console
3. Automated

Current installer supports only  (1) and (2). To run in console mode use:

{code}java -jar insatller.jar -console {code}

It shows license text on console and prompts for input 

{code}press 1 to accept, 2 to reject, 3 to redisplay{code}

after answering (1) it goes further but fails because our panels do not support console mode.

> In a recent discussion around JBIDE-19852 , it was pointed out that IzPack supports supplying properties to the installer, so that some values are predefined.
> Details are here:
> http://docs.codehaus.org/display/IZPACK/Unattended+Installations
> The idea is that you could run this:
> java -DINSTALL_PATH=/default/path -jar installer.jar
> And this would pre-fill the installation path to the path given in the command.
