RegisterChannelType: Register Channel Types tool

The publishing process makes use of channel publishing documents (.cpd files) to
determine what parameters and restrictions on parameters are necessary to
collect for the use by a published channel. A set of serveral channel types,
each of which references a channel publishing document, is supplied with
uPortal.

To add additional channel types, it is necessary to use
the RegisterChannelTypes tool.

To run this tool, type
"ant regchantype" followed by a set of parameters. For example:

ant regchantype -Dclass=org.jasig.portal.channels.CImage \\
 -Dname="ImageChannel" \\
-Ddescription="Displays image with optional title and subtitle" \\
-Duri=/org/jasig/portal/channels/CImage/CImage.cpd
