It's the graphical UI that I want. Having someone with little i
experience have to start a 5250 session and run a bunch of commands (or
even to figure out what a command line is) is getting harder and harder
to sell. Basically I want the user to click a link on my web site,
download the installer, double click it to start it (so far no
typing....) and then be prompted for a valid i user ID and password and
then just watch the pretty screen with the progress bar moving until
it's done with a "Success!" splash screen. That is what they expect for
a Windows installer and they really shouldn't get anything different for
the i.
I develop web apps so a command line is an anathema to my target
customers. Doing it all under the covers while they are "entertained"
by a progress UI is what I am looking for.

Aaron,
If you are tweaking tn5250j, I hope you are contributing the changes
back (I haven't seen you on the mailing list...)
I just spent the day with IzPack, building a new installer jar for the
latest tn5250j. I think I'll play with IzPack a little more and see
if I can use it to install programs to the i. Something I have needed
is a desktop installer for i programs....
Problem with most installers is that they insist on somewhere to display
splash screens, and Ok-buttons and stuff. No go through a qsh session :(
What do you want to accomplish?
