Hello,
I developed and maintain the external Image task available at http://www.mullassery.com/software/ANT/. It is currently listed as one of the external tasks and is distributed under the Apache License.
I would like to contribute it to the Image task in ANT 1.7, since I see no point in maintaining separate internal and external Image tasks.
My implementation currently supports a combination of imaging operations on files or filesets such as
1. resize/ scale/ bestfit 2. crop 3. add text 4. overlay another image 5. rotate 6. grayscale 7. add transparency
It works with Java2D or JAI giving similar output (JAI and ImageIO will enable support for more image formats). GIF encoding is also supported with pjatools.jar. It is built on PMIW (http://www.mullassery.com/software/PMIW/)
The next step is to support operations such as blur, sharpen, etc that PMIW already supports along with basic Draw/ Shape operations.
Thanks,
Abey Mullassery http://www.mullassery.com
