You can't do this at present.

Icons are compiled into the JAR file. You need to get the source distribution 
of mappaint, place the icon in the images directory within the mappaint 
plugin source directory, and build the JAR file.  Alternatively send me the 
icon and I can add it to the distributed version of the source.
