Using CayenneModeler as standalone tool
Hi
As a newbie to Cayenne, I would like to know if CayenneModeler can be used sensibly as a standalone application? As described in the docu, if I save a project, I get the 2 files cayenne-<project-name>.xml and <project-name.map.xml.
Double clicking on either doesn't bring me back into the state I left when I saved the project in CayenneModeler? So I am not sure if it is supported to just use CayenneModeler or if CayenneModeler has always to be used from within Eclipse?
Best regards, Robert

I'll also add that for anyone wanting to dip their toe in the water of contributing to Cayenne, this should be a really quite easy task. The changes impact the modeler (and the Swing layout), but they don't touch on the complex core parts of Cayenne runtime. There is already code, and although it is a bit messy, it gives a good guideline for what needs to be touched.

Hi Robert,
As I am sure you've seen from earlier discussion, the "descriptions" feature is somewhat separate from EOModel import. (i.e. as long as Cayenne doesn't support it, all we can do is to ignore this extra data when importing EOModel). As Ari mentioned, we even have a pretty old Jira for it - CAY-400, and a patch of unknown quality.
I am a bit torn on this one. On the one hand I don't have much use for this feature myself, and over the years could not motivate myself to do any work on it. On the other it is clearly a popular issue. So all I can say that for it to happen, somebody must champion it. And of course that "somebody" doesn't have to be a current Cayenne committer, just willing to work with other committers on defining the design and implementation.
The current patch attached to CAY-400 will require serious cleanup, straightening the naming, etc. Once we figure out the basic terms around DataMap, then we can add Modeler support, EOModel migration, etc. IMO this is not a complicated project, but requiring attention to details.
And another consideration is that we are on the verge of freezing Cayenne 3.1 code for Beta. But that of course should not stop the development of new features on trunk (what will become 3.2 at some point).
Anyways, these are my thoughts... If you or anybody else is willing to collaborate on this feature, lets switch to dev list and continue the discussion.

Yeah, that's the problem with EOModel import support in general... It is very important to the users who are converting their projects. But since this is usually a one-time deal, after all conversion is done, nobody cares about it anymore. So the code doesn't get as much love as other parts of Cayenne. I certainly appreciate you logging all bugs, so that at least we know what people have to deal with, and see if we can fix some or all of them.

Hi Robert
If you had any developer time available, you could review the patch here for modeler comments and properties:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAY-400
This was created by an intern I briefly had at work. The guts of it are done, but a bit of cleaning up is needed before it is ready to merge. I've dropped the ball on this for a while since I've been so busy, but it would be great to get it merged.

Hi Michael
I can perfectly understand that EOModel Import is low priority. For us it's the key part as we have quite a few EOModels, the biggest having more than 130 entities with more than 200 relationships (and using comments extensively, which are not supported at the moment in CM, as far as I understand), so we only can make the switch if can get the models over to CayenneModeler.
I copy/paste the DataNode info over to a newly created DataNode, then it works.
Thanks, Robert

Hi Robert,
I can understand the EOModel failing to import, especially since
EOF-import support is a pretty low priority at this point, however you
should be able to add the DataNode in manually. Did you try exiting
the modeler after the import, running it again, and seeing if you
could add (and save) the DataNode then?
Thanks,
mrg

It seems the datanode is not saved only when it is imported via an EOModel file. I import an EOModel and the datanode appears as it does in the Entity Modeler. As soon as I save the Cayenne project, the datanode is lost. So I created a new datanode and copy/pasted all driver info to the newly created datanode. Saving the project again lost the datanode which came into CayenneModeler by importing the EOModel, but at least I had the info in the internally created datanode.
It's repeatable. Should I put it into JIRA'

The only reason I can think of is that the project wasn't saved... Or there is a bug in the trunk build of the Modeler :)

Hello Ari
Thanks a lot, problem is my DataNode is lost when I open the project (via splash screen) again. How can I get my DataNode as well when opening the project?

Cayenne modeler is first and foremost a standalone tool. The eclipse plugin version is relatively new.
When you run modeler, the splash screen shows you the last models you were editing. Clicking one should open it.
