can maven assembly plugin be used for the configuration and installation?

Hi all,

Hi all,


I am looking for an open source installer to install some application software (java based s/w programme) and i do not want to commit any sort of change in registry.

The installer should perform following actions:

1. License Terms: Accept/Reject selection by user
2. User must select installation folder, default is c:\......\......
3. Run a bat file/script to install mysql, activemq.
4. Run a bat file/script to configure the toolset
5. Install application as an independent platform
6. Catch errors and display to user
7. Display confirmation

After googling, I once thought maven assemblies could be an option. Has anyone worked on something similar? Has anyone tried maven assembly plugin to use this application?

Please let me know if anyone has got any relevant information and or such installer. I have tried some like NSIS, GhostInstaller, Nvin installer, Witem installer etc. I would like to focus on open source java installers. If anyone has used any of them, I would welcome its reviews. Thanks in advance.

If you are after a pure open source Java installer with 'build tool'
semantics, then AntInstaller - http://antinstaller.sourceforge.net/ -
might do the trick.
