Customize the installer in IZPack

Question

I just want to customize the SimpleFinishPanel based on the previous panel result i.e InstallPanel.

As a part of installer am installing the "Postgres DataBase" too, and mid of the postgres installation I want to Abort the installation process. Currently even if you aborted the installation, am getting the SimpleFinishPanel with message i.e Installatio Has Completed Successfully and An Uninstaller Program Has Created At "$INSTALL-PATH/Uninstall".

Here what I am expecting is installation GUI should indicate that the installation was aborted and is not successful.

SimpleFinishPanel.java already contains a check for failed / successful installation:

if (idata.installSuccess)
{
   // We set the information
   add(LabelFactory  ...  .getString("FinishPanel.success"),
   ...
   ... translatePath("$INSTALL_PATH") + File.separator + "Uninstaller";
   ...
}
else
{
   add(LabelFactory  ...  .getString("FinishPanel.fail"),
   ...
}

therefore, i think you should check how the return from postgres installation is being handled - whether there's a check to differentiate between successful / failed PostgreS return value ?
