IZPack copy external files to installpath

i have a izpack installer and inside of it my project with a media folder(500 MB). When i start the installer, i must wait a few seconds because it unpacks all files.

My question is: Can i select files(the media folder) outside the package to copy it, to the installpath?

With google i found only the solution on bottom of this page: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/izpack-user/mjA6AXzSouw

you can run an ANT target to copy this media file (presumably extracted from the same .zip file which contains installer.jar, although this is up to you).

  • install.xml:

    <listeners> <listener classname="AntActionInstallerListener" stage="install" /> <listener classname="AntActionUninstallerListener" stage="uninstall" /> </listeners>

  • UserInputSpec.xml:

    <field type="file" align="left" variable="the.file"> <spec txt="" size="25" set=""/> </field>

  • UserInputPanel: ask user to locate and select the media file, through the File Chooser field. The file location will be saved in the.file variable, as shown above.

  • AntActionsSpec.xml:

    <antcall buildfile="location of ANT_XML_FILE"order="afterpacks"> <target name="copyFile"></target> <property name="dest.dir"value="$INSTALL_PATH"></property> <property name="the_file"value="${the.file}"></property> </antcall>

  • ANT_XML_FILE:
    <target name="copyFile"> <copy todir="${dest.dir}"file="${the_file}"/> </target>
