IzPack SBT Plugin

Introduction

This project contains an IzPack plugin for SBT 0.10.1 or greater.

Fork

This is a fork of the original author located here.
It has only one difference. It implements a new element called fset. Instead of the original fileset element who does have logic for finding files, it delegates all the hard work to IzPack.

The syntax is:

fset:
    # The directory where to search source files.  All paths in "includes" and "excludes"
    # are relative to this.
    dir: /mypath
    # Directory where to install the files
    targetdir: $INSTALLPATH/destinationFolder
    # Include several patterns that may use ** and *, separated by spaces or commas.  If omitted, include all files
    includes: *.jar, **/*/*.class
    # Same syntax as "includes".  Excludes are processed after includes.
    excludes: .svn/**, **/Test*

See original IzPack documentation, for further details about IzPack's fileset.

This issue explains the motivation of this fork.

Use

In order to use this plugin, add this line to build.sbt:

addSbtPlugin("com.github.dapeca" % "sbt-izpack" % "1.0.3")

variablesExportPrefixes

The original version of this plugin exports to IzPack many variables when building the izpack.xml file.

It may seem inofensive, but IzPack replaces in file names any $ followed by a matched variable name.

Let's look at an example. Suppose, you have a variable called Memory, and a class called MemoryLimit that is nested to class Settings. In that case, Settings$MemoryLimit.class would be generated after compilation and $Memory replaced by IzPack in the file name.

Languages like Scala use a lot of nested classes.

If the value of the MemoryLimit variable is 20, the the file would be renamed to Settings$20.class, and a ClassNotFound exception would be thrown at runtime.

For avoiding this, I use a prefix to all the variables name that must be processed by IzPack and parsable entries, i.e. the prefix izPack.

In that case, the setting would be declared in build.sbt as:

variablesExportPrefixes in IzPack := Seq("izPack")
