[jira] [Updated] (CAY-1554) Cayenne Modeler integration with Eclipse IDE

["Andrus Adamchik (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAY-1554?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Andrus Adamchik updated CAY-1554:
---------------------------------

    Description: 
Create an Eclipse plugin that will help to synchronize work between a Java project in Eclipse and CayenneModeler. The focus of this task is not to build a lot of features into the plugin (we'll be doing that later of course), but rather to create a production-quality plugin that we can release with Cayenne 3.1. A possible set of functionality for the initial version of the plugin:

1. Start Cayenne Modeler from Eclipse, opening a given cayenne-xyz.xml (Cayenne Modeler application is based on Java Swing, so, actually the task is starting a standalone Java application by the plugin from Eclipse IDE)
2. Run mapped Java classes generation, and refresh the XML files in Eclipse when the model is saved by CayenneModeler
3. Autorefresh projects in CayenneModeler when XML files change in Eclipse.
3. Switching between the Java code in Eclipse IDE and the Model in Cayenne Modeler(and vice versa), based on user selections (eg jumping from Cayenne ObjEntity to the related Java class)
4. Provide several ways of installing created plugin to Eclipse(simple plugin, update site)

The initial plugin can (should?) be built based on the prototype already done per https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAY-1392 (the patch in this Jira will be committed to SVN soon)

  was:
Create such an eclipse plugin that will help to work with Cayenne Modeler project synchronized with Eclipse project. The basic goals are:
1. Start Cayenne Modeler from Eclipse (Cayenne Modeler application is based on Java Swing, so, actually the task is starting a standalone application by the plugin from Eclipse IDE)
2. Synchronize Cayenne Modeler and Eclipse IDE workflows, ie running mapping java classes generation on changing Cayenne model, autorefresh of the corresponded entities of the Eclipse project, etc
3. Switching between the Java code in Eclipse IDE and the Model in Cayenne Modeler(and vice versa), based on user selections (eg jumping from Cayenne ObjEntity to the related Java class)
4. Provide several ways of installing created plugin to Eclipse(simple plugin, update site)


(edits to emphasize the focus on a small production-quality plugin)
