Description

One of the biggest problems with Java desktop applications is ease of installation.

Like the Maven Source Control Management Plug-in can handle CVS and others, a general plugin should be created to the be able to plug in:

  • Windows installer through NSIS
  • Windows installer through InstallAnywhere
  • Linux installer through RPM (similar plugin available at SF)
  • MacOs installer through ?
    ...

Shortcuts should be defined at a general level (in an xml file?), maybe with customization for each installer. A general goal generates all the installers it can.

Also, for now the nsis plugin can generate only 1 installer.
If you want want one with and one without JVM, that won't work.

This installer plugin should be able to output multiple of many types anyway.
