+ The process of creating an installer from your ${maven.dist.bin.dir} + using the plugin is as follows: +

    +
  1. + You, the user invoke the nsis, or nsis:installer + goal. +
    2. +
  2. + This calls the nsis:generate-project goal, which creates + a file, ${maven.build.dir}/project.nsh. This file contains + details from your project.xml file as constants so they are available + for during the NSIS compilation step. The file is generated from a jelly + template specified by the ${maven.nsis.project.template} + variable. See the properties documentation + for more information on the defaults for this variable. +
    3. +
  3. + Next the nsis:generate-setup goal is called, which creates + a file, ${maven.build.dir}/setup.nsi. This file is later + the file passed to the NSIS executable compiler, makensis.exe. + This file is generated from a jelly template specified by the + ${maven.nsis.setup.template} variable. See the + properties documentation + for more information on the defaults for this variable. +
    4. +
  4. + Lastly, makensis.exe is called to compile to generated + setup.nsi file. +
