Can IA create a new installer in batch after a Jenkins build

Hello
I have been reading your white papers on the various topics, so suffering a little from information overload. So, I apologise if this is already covered there, or elsewhere in the forum (difficult to find right keywords for successful search).
We build our applications as Eclipse Rich Clients, using Jenkins (Hudson), which creates an archive zip file if all of the unit test streams pass. What we would like to do is to invoke IA via a command after the archive has been created, such that it will build the installer for this specific version - no human intervention. Can this be done?
As I see it, I would have defined the required installer in IA for say version 2.2. At the end of the Jenkins step that builds the 2.2 archive, it would then build the 2.2 installer.
That would also allow our testing team to start their testing via an install/patch, so that step gets well tested.
Regards, John
