Register a URL / URI protocol scheme for an application installed by Install4j?

Question

We provide a cross-platform installer for one of our applications through Install4j. We would like to be able to register the installed application in the URL protocol. Can this be done using Install4j?

A bit of background: our application is an XMPP client. We would like to launch it when the user calls the URL beginning with " xmpp ". This is similar to how the browser opens when you click on the link beginning with "http", and how the mail client opens when you click on the link starting with "mailto".

There seem to be numerous platform-specific solutions , but since our application is a cross-platform application, we would like to be able to have a cross-platform solution.

Answer 1

As with install4j 6.1.5, this is not a feature in install4j. However, in our issuers tracker, and I added a tip to this.
