New imageop block in 2.1

[Jean-Baptiste Quenot <jb...@apache.org>]

About the [1]imageop contribution, could someone explain how I can
add a block  in Cocoon 2.1?  Does it involve  adding the new block
in gump.xml?   Does the build  depend on gump.xml directly,  or is
there an intermediate step required?

Please find attached the current patch against gump.xml.

Thanks in advance,

The  updated  blocks.properties  also  modifies  the  dependencies
descriptions, which means the file has been edited by hand.

So, thank  you for  bringing this precision,  this may  be helpful
also to others.

I have re-added this info where it belongs, at the top of 
blocks.properties, by modifying gump2blocks.properties.xsl

Take a look at some of the blocks in src/blocks and make sure that the 
block you like to add follow the same directory structure.

Yes, there is some xslt that is called by the prepare-blocks target in 
tools/target/compile-build.xml that create ant targets for the blocks 
based on the gump.xml.

Not AFAIR.

You also need to update blocks.properties with the new block. That can 
either be done manually or with the generate-blocks.properties task.

For blocks with jars one need to update lib/jars.xml and legal.

Haven't added any blocks lately so I don't remember enough to be able to 
evaluate it.
