~~IZPACK-218~~ Need to provide the ability to call an external Java class prior to or after any panel

Description

« Hide

It were very useful to add the possibility to run a specific java class befora a panel activates, before the panel validates and after the panel validation.
This could be done with an additional tag in the panel tag like the following:

There is no possibility to pass parameters but in the action the user has access to AutomatedInstallData by passing it as a paramter into the action.

Nice.

You should discuss this on the dev list.

There is an additional action that is called before the constructor of the panel.
<action stage="preconstruct" classname="PreConstructionAction" />

Dennis, I think Florian is already working on it, or am I missing something?

I would like to patch this back to 4.2.1 that I can use the 4.2.1 distribution for my own installers.
Is it possible to patch this back?

Hi Florian,

This is really a new feature, so it should not go into 4.2.1. (I know it is less convenient for you, but that is really better not to mix everything)

I guess that meanwhile you can easily apply the patch on top of 4.2.1.

Cheers

The actions are not working on automated installation

Actions are now called during automated installation also.
