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.
