Description

Is there anyway to use an HTML widget for the Installation Screen here?
The Ptolemy IzPack Installer uses an HTML widget, it looks more polished.
The text widget in courier looks primitive.
The links to the open bugs list is long and awkward, cutting and pasting is
difficult. I'm not sure if the IzPack HTML widget supports opening links though.

I'm the reporter on this, it was assigned to Dan Higgins, I'm reassiging
it to Chad for his configuration. The issue is that the izPack installer
should use the HTML widget for the installation screen.
In the ptII tree, see
ptII/adm/gen-7.0/ptII7_0_devel_setup.xml

where I have

&lt;res id="HTMLInfoPanel.info" src="index.htm"/&gt;
    &lt;res id="HTMLLicencePanel.licence" src="copyright.htm"/&gt;
    &lt;res id="InfoPanel.info" src="../../README.txt"/&gt; 
...
  &lt;panels&gt;
        &lt;panel classname="HelloPanel"/&gt;
        &lt;panel classname="HTMLInfoPanel"/&gt;
        &lt;panel classname="HTMLLicencePanel"/&gt;
        &lt;panel classname="TargetPanel"/&gt; 
        &lt;panel classname="PacksPanel"/&gt;
        &lt;panel classname="SummaryPanel"/&gt;
        &lt;panel classname="InstallPanel"/&gt;
        &lt;panel classname="ShortcutPanel"/&gt;
        &lt;panel classname="FinishPanel"/&gt;
    &lt;/panels&gt;

I'm going to close this for now. If someone really doesn't like the textual readme, I guess we can change it but it seems ok to me.

The problem is that the links in the installer screen are not mouse sensitive.
A textual installer readme screen looks less polished.
This is a really quick fix in izPack, just use HTMLInfoPanel, see this
bug for details.
