New plugin for creating Swing control images for documentation

[Kathryn Huxtable <ka...@kathrynhuxtable.org>]

I'm working on a look and feel for Swing (http://seaglasslookandfeel.com) and wanted to include images from the look and feel in my documentation. So I wrote a plugin

	org.kathrynhuxtable.maven.plugins:imagegenerator-maven-plugin:1.0

that I've deployed to Central. The docs are at

	http://www.kathrynhuxtable.org/projects/site/imagegenerator-maven-plugin

It takes an XML file describing the classes to be instantiated and their constructor arguments, along with any client properties, and some sizing information. It draws them on a JPanel, which you can specify the size of and then writes a PNG image file.

It saves the XML file at the end so that it only generates images which have changed or been added since the previous run.

By default it generates the images to ${project.build.directory}/generated-site/resources/images so that they will end up in the images directory of your site, but all of this is configurable.

I thought it might be of some use to others, so I'm letting you all know.
