Eclipse/Modeler/Magic
Hey guys,
A couple fo questions about class generation:
1) Is it possible to trigger (from within Eclipse) an automated build of
the classes when the model file changes? I had this with WebObjects/WOLips
and it's such nice feature.
2) I can't figure out how to get the modeler to build classes into the
right directories honoring packages. It seems like if I choose the
"packages" option (I can't remember the specific name) it doesn't end up in
the right place. I'm sure I just misunderstand the options.

Re: Eclipse/Modeler/Magic

Works semi-automatically for me. I put a declaration for “cgen” in my Maven pom. After a model change I do refresh in Eclipse, and this triggers Maven invocation. Then I have to do refresh again, so I can see the changes. Having said that I am +1 on CAY-1723.

No :-(
But I haven't found it to be much of an issue. It's pretty easy to
generate the classes from the Modeler menu, or from an ant target. I do it
both ways, but use ant more often now since it always has the right
settings.
If you are using ant, the setup could look like this:
<path id="cgen.classpath">
<fileset dir="path/to/cayenne" includes="cayenne-server*.jar" />
<fileset dir="path/to/cayenne" includes="cayenne-di*.jar" />
<fileset dir="path/to/cayenne" includes="commons-*.jar" />
<fileset dir="path/to/cayenne" includes="velocity-*.jar" />
<fileset dir="path/to/cayenne-tools" includes="*.jar" />
</path>
<typedef resource="org/apache/cayenne/tools/antlib.xml">
<classpath refid="cgen.classpath"/>
</typedef>
<target name="generate.entity.classes">
<touch file="src/MyModel.map.xml" />
<cgen map="src/MyModel.map.xml"
superpkg="com.company.cayenne.auto"
supertemplate="superclass.vm"
template="subclass.vm"
destDir="src"
outputPattern="*.java"
encoding="UTF-8"
mode="all"
/>
</target>
You may be able to add an eclipse "builder" to do it automatically - not
sure..

Do you have the "Use package path" box checked at the bottom of the
generate classes window?
