Answer 1

Just in case somebody stumbles upon this thread as i just did:

You can include an "executable" element in your install "pack" element which will execute as custom script: izpack documentation

Answer 2

You can use <executable> tags in your pack definitions to specify which files are executables. The key is to have stage="postinstall" attribute so izpack executes the file after installation is complete and to set keep="true" so izpack does not remove it.

For example:

<executable targetfile="$INSTALL_PATH/bin/some-secript"
                 os="unix" stage="postinstall" failure="warn" keep="true"/>
