Andrus Adamchik closed CAY-225.
-------------------------------

       Resolution: Won't Fix
    Fix Version/s:     (was: Undefined future)

No matter our past promises, Cayenne design moved in a different direction. So no point to keep this Jira open. However we can restart a discussion on the dev list if there is a push to design something similar to EOF prototypes in Cayenne,

> EOModeler supports the creation of prototype entities and attributes, which are useful for quickly changing what database is used (OpenBase, Oracle, etc.) either through the GUI or programmatically, and also for promoting consistency of datatype definitions across the entire model.  The lack of this feature in Cayenne is the only thing keeping my group from dropping EOModeler in favor of Cayenne, since we have defined prototypes which we depend on.  Please consider adding support for this feature in Cayenne in the near future!
