Portlet? So you are looking at static images then :-)

GeoTools render module supports the generation of static images - we 
have not done a legend yet. The uDig project has some legend (and 
scalebar code) but we would need some work to make them available to the 
GeoTools library.

As for the specific work:
- define additional MapLayer classes for Legend, Scalebar

I think I caught IanT doing something like this for a WMSMapLayer in a 
demo ...

As for collaboration - this section of the code is currently a curiosity 
for me - so I cannot promises anything solid by way of time, my GeoTools 
time right now is going to a SoC student. However this is an interesting 
area for collaboration ... I am trying to temp others into working on 
this kind of problem.

Specifically - I am looking at this area of the code base from a 
different angle. As a target for an open web service context document 
(an xml format that defines a Map, Layers and so on ... initial focused 
on WFS, WMS, and WCS with SLD used for style ... I want to hack the 
format to support Legend, Scalebar etc...).

If you guys work out LegendMapLayer, ScalebarMapLayer you can steal the 
drawing code from uDig, and I would have something interesting to extend 
the document towards.

Cheers,
Jody
