Benedikt Ritter commented on IMAGING-138:
-----------------------------------------
Sorry for the late reply. I'm just catching up with all the outstanding issues.
I'm not fond this should be part of the core library. I've already thought
about splitting the whole project up into several maven moduls, so that users
can chose for example which formats they need instead of pulling the whole
library in. An Ant task would fit into such a modular architecture.
Since there is so much work to do before 1.0 I don't see the coming in 1.0.

> Key: IMAGING-138
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMAGING-138
> Project: Commons Imaging
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Format: ICNS, Format: ICO
> Reporter: Julien Gouesse
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: Discussion
>
>
> 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.
