Welcome to the IzPack Confluence space 
IzPack is a one-stop solution for packaging, distributing and deploying applications.
It is fully cross-platform and generates a single installer. As such, it is an alternative to native solutions such as platform-specific installers and package managers.
Many companies and projects have been using IzPack over the years.
IzPack-generated installers only require a Java virtual machine to run.
IzPack is published under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0, meaning that you can adapt it to your needs with very minimal constraints.
News
Thanks to the Gource, I have been able to generate a video of the IzPack commits history.
Please note that IzPack actually started in 2001, but we started using CVS only back in 2002.
Enjoy the movie

Andreas Nerlich just published an article called using izpack2exe from an unpacked maven dependency.
I'm sure it will provide some useful informations for those relying on a Maven build process that integrates IzPack installer generation.
Thanks Andreas
I will give a talk at fOSSa, a free conference that will be held on November 17th-18th in Grenoble, France
