IzPack: a free java-based installer maker

One of the things that has to be done for the cross-platform version of Lux is to create a nice installer. As the second impression (after a webpage) of my software I want it to be as nice to the users as possible.

After searching the web I believe that I have found exactly what I was looking for: IzPack. It's a free cross-platform java-based installer maker. And it works like a charm. It uses an XML config file and works from within ant (a program to manage the building of applications from source code) beautifully. After a single day I have integrated it into my build system and can easily produce a working installer.
