Sure, just go to http://izpack.org/showcase-glassfish-v2/ and clone the Mercurial repository.

Is the source for install.xml file for glassfish installer available? We currently use Inno Setup but trying to move to pure java based solution. IZPack makes lot of sense but we need to make some quick progress to prove that this can be viable option.

@Andrew: this can be done. I deliberately chose to make the GlassFish installer “pure java”, but IzPack can also talk to Windows specificities like registries. I believe someone already wrote about Windows services on the wiki at http://izpack.org/wiki/start

Just a suggestion / thought for the installer. How hard would it be to have it add init scripts and window services?

Is this something that I could do myself modifying the installer?

I was thinking of using the info from this article (unless there’s a newer / better way) for the windows service:

Thanks Andrew

The current installer invokes setup.xml, but we can envision calling setup-cluster.xml instead. Anyway you can start with the developer profile in your domain then upgrade it to a cluster configuration.

Announcing an IzPack-based GlassFish installer…

[...]I am pleased to announce the imminent release of a cross-platform installer for the GlassFish project based on IzPack. The installer will be able to install to Windows, Mac OS X and Linux from the same JAR file.[...]…

This is great. Thank you so much for your effort and wonderful work. I was surprised to see this before an openinstaller based installer since that is a glassfish subproject. I’ve always loved izPack.

Will this be able to support cluster / developer profiles? (ie. setup.xml vs setup-cluster.xml)

Thanks a bunch =]
