Install Progress Monitor

(c) 2008 miraculixx @ github.com - Licensed under GNU GPL V3

Purpose

=======

This utility provides a general-purpose installation progress monitor for

applications that do not provide one themselves. The progress reported is

easily configurable by names of directories or files, and no change is

required to the installation procedure itself.

Usage

=====

First, create a configuration file (ASCII text format) where you list all files or 

directories expected to be created, modified or removed. One file or directory

per line using the following syntax:

```

file=pct;text

where file is an absolute or relative path of the file or directory expected

           to be created, modified or deleted by the installation process

      pct  is the releative progress in percent (values 0..100)

      ;    is a mandatory seperator

      text is the text to be displayed at reaching this progress level

```      

      

List as many files and directories as you want progress to be reported on.

To ensure the progress indicator will exit automatically, list an exit condition

as follows:

`file=..exit`

This will tell the progress indicator to exit one this file is modified, created

or removed. It may be convenient to use a temporary directory created by the

installation process but removed once it exits. You may also list multiple 

exit commands of this form.

Second, invoke jpi as follows:

`java -jar jpi.jar config.jpi`

where config.jpi is the name of the configuration file created in the first step

Third, run your installation process.

Whenever a file or directory listed in the configuration file as specified above

is created, modified or removed, the progress indicator will be updated to reflect

the respective percentage and display the text as given in the configuration file.

Advanced options

================

The configuration file may contain other options and commands:

```

..log=yes    tells the progress indicator to display a log that is updated with 

             all text items of any progress level reached

..size=HxW   sets the dimensions of the dialog box in pixels (width x height)

             example: 50x100 sets the size to be 50 pixels in height and 100 in width

..init=text  sets the initial text upon start

..title=text sets the title of the dialog box. default is "InstallProgress";

```
