             Summary: Support standalone DataMap XML files as full cayenne projects
                 Key: CAY-2886
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAY-2886
             Project: Cayenne
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core Library, Modeler
            Reporter: Nikita Timofeev
             Fix For: 5.0-M2


There are many Cayenne projects with a single {{.map.xml}} file and nothing meaningful in the project XML. We could just allow to use standalone DataMap files as a full project in that case.

This improvement should include:
* Opening in the Modeler
* Loading in the runtime
* Possibly saving in the Modeler (save just {{data.map.xml}} if there's nothing in the project? separate option in the project/modeler?)

This feature should not replace any existing support for the project files.
