I switched from PackageMaker 3 to PackageMaker 2 and resolved my problems. For the sake of anyone using PackageMaker 3, I thought I would make some comments. Good things Distributions can be created in one project which generates the individual packages as well as the distribution. Packagemaker has post install automator actions. Bad things The new PackageMaker uses a new pmdoc format. Upgrading requires user input. Things work differently with scripts, and examples are sparse or non-existent. I could not find a way to edit the built packages. The Flat Package Editor was not working on them. Then you're creating a FLAT package that is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 or later. You can edit it later using the Flat Package Editor but this is not really easy. The packagemaker project allows you to set compatibility. My project was set for 10.4 and later. The Flat Package Editor was not working. PackageMaker now has a "Raw Edit Mode" that does some of the same things. I was able to use "Raw Edit Mode" to insert an Installer plugin. Manually or through a shell script (which would mean, you may need to build your package/distribution script through the PackageMaker command line). I have only extensively used the latest PackageMaker. The packages produced can not be viewed in the finder with "Show Package Contents".
