Packaging libraries with the icon stuff...

Maybe there should be a new spec file for packaging libraries,

In eclispe these are called features and have a feature.xml file

One that specifies:

name
version
website
update URLs
required libraries
display name
license
a nice description of the library and each component/page provided by the
library.
icons for each component contained in the library

This could be the basis for a CPan-style site, people could upload thier
feature.xml file to the site
and that would contain enough info to dynamically build a page describing
the feature. Or they could upload a jar containing
the feature.xml + assets like component icons.

Put an extended feature.xml file in the library jar and spindle (or any
other tool) can extract the info it needs to have fancy stuff like icons for
each component.

neat.
