IzPack

Tool for creating cross-platform installers, primarily aimed at Java applications.


Description


IzPack is an open-source tool for creating cross-platform installers, mainly aimed at Java applications. Licensed under the Apache License 2.0, it allows developers to package and distribute software flexibly, generating a single installer that works on any operating system with a Java SE 6 or higher virtual machine, such as Windows, macOS, and Linux. Created by Julien Ponge and maintained by a community of contributors, IzPack stands out for its customization capabilities and simplicity.

With IzPack, it is possible to freely define the structure of the installer, choosing elements such as interface panels, visual layouts, and specific functionalities, without a predefined rigid template. It supports optional native features, such as creating desktop shortcuts, manipulating system registries, and elevating privileges during installation. Configuration is done through an XML file (install.xml), where files to be installed, packs, variables, and installation rules are specified.

The software is lightweight, integrates well with tools like Maven and Ant for build automation, and offers options such as console mode for installations on servers. Its flexibility allows for extensions in case desired features are not available natively.
