Sounds like an install, not a configuration.InstallShield and Wise are two commercial packages developed to create installations.

thanks for u r reply.

what i am expecting is can i devide my whole application into plug-ins and according to the need of user i have to install my product.

just like oracle installer which displays existing products and asks us to select from the available list and installs the selected products..

i want to develope such a type of funtionality applicable to my products..

Hoe it is possible?can we use wise or installshield..waiting for u r reply...plzzz respond immediately

The commercial products have script language which allow you to provide any sort of install that you want.

You might want to take a look at wrapping your app in the Netbeans Application Framework. It probably won't address ALL of your needs in terms of initial install but is great for dealing with the modularity that you seek. Alternatively, Eclipse provides (as I understand it) the same functionality.
