|
|
The process of creating an installer from your <code>${maven.nsis.build.dir}</code>
|
|
using the plugin is as follows:
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
You, the user invoke the <code>nsis</code>, or <code>nsis:installer</code>
|
|
goal.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
This calls the <code>nsis:generate-project</code> goal, which creates
|
|
a file, <code>${maven.build.dir}/project.nsh</code>. 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 <code>${maven.nsis.project.template}</code>
|
|
variable. See the <a href="properties.html">properties</a> documentation
|
|
for more information on the defaults for this variable.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Next the <code>nsis:generate-setup</code> goal is called, which creates
|
|
a file, <code>${maven.build.dir}/setup.nsi</code>. This file is later
|
|
the file passed to the NSIS executable compiler, <code>makensis.exe</code>.
|
|
This file is generated from a jelly template specified by the
|
|
<code>${maven.nsis.setup.template}</code> variable. See the
|
|
<a href="properties.html">properties</a> documentation
|
|
for more information on the defaults for this variable.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Lastly, <code>makensis.exe</code> is called to compile to generated
|
|
setup.nsi file.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
