Martin Malina commented on JBDS-3446:
-------------------------------------

Yeah, to be honest I'm not sure if there is even demand for this in JBDS. I reported this together with JIRAs for FSW and DV installers where would directly benefit from such functionality in JBDS. But for JBDS itself, I would take it more as a "nice to have" feature. (Yes, I know it was me who reported this ;)

> 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.
