Artyom, thanks for the patch. I have a comment on the UI.. Everything is great, except the scroller for the DataMap list. Most projects will have only 1-2 DMs so it just takes too much space and looks a bit odd... So maybe we can have a regular panel without a scroller that expands dynamically as more maps are added to the project (there's a scroller for the main tab panel already, if that gets too long).

Or an alternative idea - instead of using checkboxes on the right-hand panel, linking DataMaps can be performed by dragging them on to a DataNode.

What do you think?

> When creating the first DataNode in the project, auto link all DataMaps to it. If in the project a few DNs, then new creating DMs have no links. Links for DMs your can select or clear from DataNode editor specifying the appropriate checkbox or from DataMap editor.
