Description
Plugin Resource Paths
InstallAnywhere scans the paths listed here and populates the Plug-Ins tab with the plug-ins that it finds in those paths as well as those stored at the standard plug-in location:
<InstallAnywhere>\plugins\
Note • The plug-in list in the Choose an Action dialog box is updated every time that the dialog box opens.
VM Pack Resource Paths
InstallAnywhere scans the paths listed here and populates the VM to Bundle with Installer list with the VM packs that it finds in those paths as well as those stored at the standard VM pack location:
<InstallAnywhere>\resource\installer_vms\
Note • The VM packs listed in the VM list on the Build Targets tab (VM to Bundle with Installer) are refreshed each time that you edit preferences or start InstallAnywhere. Therefore, you cannot simply copy a VM pack into a valid VM pack path. You must first open and close the Preferences dialog box or restart InstallAnywhere.
JVM Specs Resource Paths
By default, all JVM spec files are installed in the <IA_HOME>\resource\jvms directory. However, JVM spec files can be present at any location on the machine where InstallAnywhere is installed.
In cases where a JVM spec file is located in a directory other than <IA_HOME>\resource\jvms, you need to identify the location of those JVM spec files in the JVM Specs Resource Paths setting. In this field, enter a semicolon-delimited list of paths where JVM spec files are located.
InstallAnywhere scans the paths listed here and populates the Choose JVM Spec dialog box with the JVM spec files that it finds in these paths as well as those stored at the default JVM spec file location (<IA_HOME>\resource\jvms).
Note • The organization of the JVM spec files must be similar to that of $IA_HOME$/resource/jvms directory; each spec file must be placed in its own platform folder—for example:
