| 12 | <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>
