AntInstaller

Google Search this site

AntInstaller enables you to quickly build installers for your applications using an XML config file and all the power of Ant.

The beauty of AntInstaller, from a user point of view, is that it lets you install an app with a user friendly swing GUI. If working over ssh or without an X environment you can still install on the command line with no changes to the installer.

To start using AntInstaller download and install the binaries. Then either read the quick start page, or use the wizard provided to generate an initial installer for your project. You will need to edit the antinstall-config.xml file following instructions in the AntInstaller manual and create an Ant build.xml file referencing the Ant manual. You can include the custom Ant task into your project's build to generate the installer.
