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

I recently came across a scenario where this feature would help. We have a script to compare two versions of JBDS for diffs. Nick improved the tool to support automated installation of JBDS from installer jar, but it currently doesn't work for me on Mac, because the default path is /Applications/jbdevstudio which fails on permissions. So it would be very useful to be able to specify the target destination on the command line.

> 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.
