Description
JIIC (http://jiic.berlios.de/) is a pure Java ISO creator that could be used in the build process instead of mkisofs.
It currently needs a patch to work for this purpose : 2 modifications are needed :
- JIIC needs to support El torito boot image patching (-boot-info-table in mkisofs)
- JIIC needs to support padding at the end of the iso : by default mkisofs adds 150 padding sectors at the end of the iso to avoid problems with some read-ahead impl ( and this actually appends on some BIOS's with grub )
Here are 2 patches :
- one for jiic making the above mentioned changes
- one for build.xml & build-x86.xml to use the patched jiic

I sent a mail to Jens Hatlak the creator of jiic regarding this patch, he answered my mail and said he would integrate the changes in jiic so we wont need to maintain a patched version.

As not everyone might have seen it, there is a new JIIC release, the "JNode Edition"
See here.

I've integrated the patch.
Great work, thanks a lot!
Note: mkisofs is still available by jnode.enable.mkisofs=true in jnode.properties
