Julien Gouesse commented on IMAGING-138:
----------------------------------------

I'm going to make some improvements:
- move the Ant specific code into a separate class so that the Ant agnostic 
code can be used without depending on Ant
- when the destination image file is a .icns file, create several images with 
proper sizes from the source image file by rescaling it by default
- when the destination image file is a .icns file, accept (optionally) a file 
set of source images
- when the source image file is a .icns file, use its biggest image by default 
instead of the first one
- add a flag to enable the rescale of source images (true by default) into the 
Ant agnostic class and add a setter into the Ant specific class
- add a field indicating the index of the image to pick inside a source .icns 
file (0 by default, -1 means it picks the biggest image, -2 means it picks the 
smallest image) into the Ant agnostic class and add a setter into the Ant 
specific class
- add some documentation into these two classes

> Provide some Ant tasks to perform image conversions

>             Project: Commons Imaging
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Format: ICNS, Format: ICO
>            Reporter: Julien Gouesse
>            Priority: Minor
>
> I suggest to add some Ant tasks to perform image conversions into Commons 
> Imaging, especially from/to formats that aren't supported by any known Java 
> library. I could have written a custom Ant task for my own project but I 
> think it would be better for this project.
> In my case, I need to convert a PNG image into ICNS in order to use it as a 
> logo for a Mac application bundle and I use Ant as a build tool. As I don't 
> generate this bundle under Mac (I'm under Mageia Linux), I can't use Mac 
> build-in tools to create the .icns file and using external softwares to make 
> the conversion each time I modify the original logo is annoying. I'll 
> probably have the same problem with .ico files.
> Please indicate how I should modify the Maven pom file in order to compile 
> the custom tasks and I'll be ready to contribute.
