On behalf of the IzPack project, I am very pleased to announce the immediate availability of the version 4.1.1 of the project!
Many thanks
... [More]
to the developers and contributors for making this release possible!
IzPack is a one-stop solution for packaging, distributing and deploying applications.
It is fully cross-platform and generates a single installer. As such, it is an alternative to native solutions such as platform-specific installers and package managers.
IzPack-generated installers only require a Java virtual machine to run.
Many companies and projects have been using IzPack over the years.
IzPack version 4.1.1 is a maintenance release to the IzPack 4.1 branch that provides useful fixes. As a consequence, we advise our users to switch to this new release.
IzPack can be downloaded from http://izpack.org/ and is a member of Codehaus (see http://codehaus.org/).

I am pleased to announce that I have set up a Git repository for IzPack in GitHub: http://github.com/jponge/izpack/tree/master
This is not a
... [More]
change in the SCM choice for IzPack, but rather a new option for those who would like to use a distributed SCM.
Do not hesitate to fork/clone the repository. As the maintainer of IzPack, I expect to facilitate the interactions between developers and contributors by breaking the "centralized commit rights" barrier.
To clone the repository:
git clone git://github.com/jponge/izpack.git izpack.git
It currently contains two branches called master (my own development branch) and vendor-svn-trunk (a mirror of our SVN trunk at Codehaus). In the future, I expect to also track the stable release branches that we maintain in Subversion.
Comments / ideas are welcome!
