IzPack is a widely used tool for packaging applications on the Java platform as cross-platform installers.

IzPack is part of The Codehaus.

IzPack is published under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0, meaning that you can adapt it to your needs with very minimal constraints.

Some third-party components (e.g., look and feel libraries) may be released under different terms.

IzPack only requires Java SE 6+ and Maven 3:

mvn clean install

The build generates a distribution IzPack installer JAR in izpack-dist/target.

The IzPack Maven plugin is inside the izpack-maven-plugin module.

While reporting an issue on our JIRA tracker is useful, investigating and offering a patch is much better!

We suggest that you follow our guidelines for contributing, and especially that you have a fork of https://github.com/izpack/izpack on GitHub. You can then offer contributions using pull requests.

We very much prefer pull requests over attaching patches in a JIRA issues.
