Thrown Items - Plugin Request

I was hoping someone with more java skill than me could come up with a 'simple' item throwing plugin.

Basically, the idea is that you would be able to throw weapons, like swords and axes. The damage dealt could be customizable through a properties file (default to the same damage as when the weapon is swung)

I assume the most logical way to approach this would be by piggybacking off the way a bow operates, and giving its' properties to the weapon that will be thrown. It would then consume itself in the same way that the bow consumes an arrow.

Anyone up for the challenge? I want to tomahawk some creepers! (and give some kind of use back to stone weapons!)

 

This lets you throw arrows... I recall one which let you throw anything but may have gone inactive.

 

Yeah I saw this one, and I'm using it on the server now, but the trick is trying to get something that will actually fire the axe/sword, and not just use the sword to fire arrows.

do you have any idea what the older plugin was? if it has source available, maybe I could take a crack at updating it to the current bukkit
