<h1>IzPack overview</h1> |
13 |
|
14 |
<h2>What it can do for you</h2> |
15 |
<p>IzPack is a powerful software installers generator for the Java[tm]
|
16 |
platform. It uses a very modular architecture that lets you make the |
17 |
installers work as you want, not as the software wants it to work. It is also |
18 |
possible to extend it to suit your needs since it has been designed with this |
19 |
purpose in mind from the start.</p>
|
20 |
|
21 |
<h2>Package once, install anywhere</h2> |
22 |
<p>The installers generated by IzPack are independant of the target operating
|
23 |
system. It has been running successfully on Linux/i386, FreeBSD, Solaris, |
24 |
MacOS X and Win32. All it needs is a Java[tm] Runtime Environment. |
25 |
Unfortunately, there is no Java[tm] Runtime Environment that is available |
26 |
under an OSI-approved license. The recent news from the Java[tm] community |
27 |
suggest that it will never be the case. This is a shame as it restricts both |
28 |
your freedom and the number of supported platforms.</p>
|
29 |
|
30 |
<h2>Cool licensing</h2> |
31 |
<p>IzPack is published under the GNU GPL which is a Free Software license as
|
32 |
defined by both the Free Software Foundation and the Open Source Initiative. |
33 |
This means that you can freely redistribute and modify IzPack as long as you |
34 |
respect the GNU GPL terms.</p>
