Plugin Information
Add links in the sidebar of the Hudson main page, view tabs and project pages.
This simple plugin adds an Additional Sidebar Links section in the main Hudson configuration page, with settings for link URLs, texts and icons. These links will be shown in the top-level Hudson pages (main page, user list, build history, My Projects and other project view tabs). Sidebar links for particular jobs may also be added in the job configuration pages.

One issue I see with the image having to exist in the applications images/24x24 directory, people who are running Hudson in the build-in Winstone servlet container won't be able to install their own icon image. The other issue I see is for those that are running Hudson in a Tomcat or other servlet container, the custom icon images will be lost when upgrading Hudson.

Also, allowing larger sizes would be great. It's actually pretty hard to find a decent 24x24 icon for some websites.

Hiding the link for anonymous user could be done (by returning null from LinkAction.getIconFileName() when link should not be seen), but seems like low priority (patch welcome..).
