IzPack / Sun IPS integration article

I'm quite late on writing a note for this but here it is: Christopher Kampmeier from Sun wrote a deep article on the IzPack / Sun IPS integration that I started to make on a Glassfish v3 Prelude build. I must say that the article is very well written, big thanks to you Christopher for writing this! (+ such a nice article is a good personal boost )

It covers both the initial installation with IzPack and the interactions with the update center tools. Last but not least, there are plenty of screenshots

Eduardo recently mentioned that I would make updates soon ... as time permits. It's true that these days I haven't been that much available, but hopefuly next week I should be able to publish an update of the Glassfish v3 installer.

Not only will the update be based on a fresher GFv3 build, but it will also contain some due fixes. The most important one is to make it work on Windows (I could not test it when I made the installer...), as the current version fails to work because of spaces in paths... a very common problem when launching external processes on Windows. There are also some minor other things that Christopher mentioned and that I will take into account.

Stay tuned!
