- The user interface is defined in an XML configuration file and the install process is defined in a standard Ant build.xml file

- By using a custom Ant task the creation of the installer can be integrated into existing Ant based builds, includin Maven
- Command line UI
- Internationalization of installers, and application messages
- Pluggable look & feel
- Silent, and/or repeatable installs
