You may then add "enhanced-emoticons" to one of the flavor-based plugin chains.
The emoticons property is used to define all of the emoticons available. Each value listed for this property must have a corresponding .pattern and image path property.
The directories referenced here are relative to the root context of the web application. They will be used in constructing the proper URL to the image by appending the proper image filename to the blog URL.
You may download the Jive Emoticons image pack for use in your weblog. Due to copyright restrictions, we cannot re-distribute the emoticons pack with blojsom. To use the Jive Emoticons image pack, unzip the jive-emoticons.zip and move the images sub-directory over to your web application's root context directory.
The parseComments property sets whether or not the plugin should be applied to comments.
Usage and URL Parameters
