How to package a custom Alfresco Sync installer?

Hi everyoneI have made some changes on Alfresco Sync client, and I was able to package it to a exec file (inside the project's target folder) using mvn clean package.Now I need to create the installer, in the same way Alfresco does.How can I create the different installer versions, for 32 and 64 bit

The Alfresco installers are created using BitRock InstallBuilder

But any installer will do. It really depends on your target platform.

During a hack-a-thon in 2012 Zaizi helped package the sync client as RPMs, but I can't find the code for that at the moment. I know a lot of Java projects use install4j.

Good luck.

Ok, thank you.

And do you know how can I create both 32 and 64 exec files using maven?
Is there any option I have to use when packaging the project?

I've found the solution for this problem.

In order to run, package or compile the project using Maven, you have to perform some javafx-maven-plugin specific commands, as discribed here http://zenjava.com/javafx/maven/

I hope this tip will be useful for someone else.
