Bruno P. Kinoshita commented on IMAGING-138:
--------------------------------------------
Came here to comment in a similar line as Benedikt. I feel like this
contribution (which besides tabs vs. spaces, looks great) doesn't really match
the nature of the project.
It could be hosted under your own repository in GitHub/GitLab/etc. And we can
then alter add a section for related links in the project site.
Or it could be simplified, removing the ant part, and made into an use case
example, as the WriteExifMetadataExample
(https://github.com/apache/commons-imaging/tree/master/src/test/java/org/apache/commons/imaging/examples.
The code must reside in the test source directory, so that it is not shipped
with the code. And would be useful for reference for others.
> Provide some Ant tasks to perform image conversions

> 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.
