Description

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.
