调用java 类,从IzPack调用Java类

How do you invoke a method from a Java class from IzPack? Static methods are OK, and I need to be able to pass it parameters.

Thank you!

Background info:

I am trying to write an IzPack installer which is able to detect a previously installed versions of the application. After finding out that it doesn't really support this feature (except in Windows), I think the only way to do this is through writing a Java class and calling it from IzPack.

Tim Williscroft has previously suggested this method, that reads the value of a static field of a class:

au.com.codarra.ela.installer.JBossChecker

hasJBossEnv

true

However, is it possible to call from somewhere other than a tag? I want to be able to call it from a tag.

Also, is it possible to call a method from a Java class instead of reading a value of a field? I want to be able to pass parameters to my class.

You can call static methods, but I don't think you can pass in parameters.

You could create a new 'Condition type', but I have no experience with this so I can't confirm the flexibility it provides...

So, I don't have a direct response, but another suggestion which might help:

I tend to pass any complex post-processing on to separate processes.

Have you investigated the Processing panel? You can start any process, and pass in variables ..

e.g.

doit$variable

doit$variable

I've used it to set up services and start up immediately. That kind of thing. Just make sure your script exits cleanly, otherwise IzPack will hang.
