Describe the issue: 
In a recent discussion around https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-19852 (which deals with jar installers while adding a runtime in JBoss Tools / JBoss Developer Studio), it was pointed out that IzPack supports supplying properties to the installer, so that some values are predefined.
Details are here:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/IZPACK/Unattended+Installations
The idea is that you could run this:
java -DINSTALL_PATH=/default/path -jar installer.jar
And this would pre-fill the installation path to the path given in the command.

I tried this with jboss-fsw-installer-6.0.0.GA-redhat-4.jar , but the installation path prefilled during the installation was still set to /Users/rasp .

Suggestions for improvement: 
The installer could read the INSTALL_PATH property given when executing the installer and use it to pre-fill the installation path during installation.

Additional information: 
If this gets implemented, it will help us with the tooling - the Eclipse tooling allows to download zip or jar archives of a product (depending on what's available). in the case of a zip, we will ask the user where to extract it and it's easy. In the case of an installer jar, it would be good if we could start the installer from within the tooling with the path already prefilled.

As far as I know, there won't be a rebuild of the 6.0.0 FSW installer, and there isn't one for later versions. Might need PM to comment on this one.
Comment 2 Martin Malina 2015-05-27 13:16:58 UTC 
I don't think we expect for this to be done retrospectively in existing versions, but hopefully we could support this from next release onward.
