In order to make life easier when these file locations need to be specified in the install.xml, we can befine a variable resourceRoot RESOURCEROOT that will point to the src/main/izPack folder

Code Block
titleFile Layout
languagehtml/xml
<installation version="5.0">
  <variables>
    <variable name="resourceRootRESOURCEROOT" value="src/main/izPack"/>
  </variables>
 </installation>

We will discuss varables variables in more detail in the Variables Section.

Another, more Maven-centric approach is pulling in the base directory (and other useful values) directly from a Maven property defined in the POM and accessing them by expressions of kind @{property.key} in install.xml, as described in Properties.
