No, the issue I didn't make clear was that the installer itself may summon
up a java process to do various bits of work (for instance I need to detect
where JAVA_HOME points to a 32 or 64 bit java so as to install the correct
daemon in the 64 bit case). For this we'll need code, (which we may not
want to put into the war), that code needs a home in svn...
I'd like to keep maven and wix as separate as possible. For instance
although it should be possible to auto-generate the contents and the exact
jar names by examining the pom file, that way madness lies. I'm currently
preferring the "unpack the zip file, run 'heat' over it to get the contents,
and then build the msi" route.
