Description peterme2005 2006-06-29 10:11:25 UTC 
Is it possible to configure the Build Zip Distribution such that you can do the
following for example:

* 'Add The Java Run Time' to your zip distribution which will 1. place a copy of
the jre dir under your zip and also 2. tell you it is adding the
jdkhome="..\jre" to your conf file (under /etc). 3. This may also ask you what
your target platform is i.e. linux or windows etc such that the oblique is
either \ or /

* 'Zip Type' perhaps asking you what zip type/format you want i.e. .zip .bz
.tar.bz .tar

NetBeans Module suite contains support for building zip distribution. It doesn't
pack JRE into zip. This feature should be supported by installer. But installer
is not part of NetBeans :(

No current plans to implement. Feel free to write up sample build.xml additions
and post on wiki.netbeans.info.

6.9 has the option to create a true installer.
