Structure
An IzPack installation description is a XML file, consisting of the root element <installation> and a number of embedded elements that can be included.
Example:
Sample IzPack installation description
Root element
An IzPack installation description must be always embedded into the root element <installation>.
Parameters:
Attribute | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
version |
The attribute defines the version of the XML file layout and is used by the compiler to identify if it is capable of compiling the XML file correctly. This should be set to the lowest version of izPack that will support the features used in the install.xml file. For a new project, this would be the major and minor parts of the current version. For izPack version 5.0.11, use version="5.0" | yes |
