Hi!
The next release of my game is becoming very very fat, it is no more acceptable to use Java Webstart and some users complain about the interruption while loading (because of Sun Microsystems when I get JOGL), the lack of shortcuts, the inexistent native integration, etc… I would like to use IzPack to ease the installation process for the end users but it seems more difficult to configure than Java Webstart. Is there at least one existing JME 2 project that already uses this installer? I'm a bit lost, I have found no "Hello World" example to start using IzPack.

The first paragraph also states to look inside the examples directory for a more basic example, I'm sure that is what you are looking for.
Thanks. I think I should add a kind of template into the wiki to help other people to use it in the future as it is not evident.

Hi!
This is the XML file I'm going to use with IzPack, it is not ready but it might help you:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes" ?>
<!--
A sample installation file.
Use it as a base for your own installers :-)
To compile it :
- go in the bin directory where you installed IzPack
- call "compile ../sample/install.xml -b ../sample"
-->
<installation version="1.0">

Let me know if you need some help. I don't want anybody to waste a lot of time with this.
