Just checked in a bunch of changes to CayenneModeler. I think I
completed all tasks I feel are important for Modeler in 1.0 except for
stored procedure mapping support. I am planning a beta 4 release
sometime next week that will be mostly dedicated to the Modeler changes
(if things work well, I may even have the stored procedure stuff in).
Here is a summary of the most important changes:
1. Linking DataMaps to nodes is no longer an obscure procedure hidden
in the menus. Rather a DataMap panel has a dropdown of DataNodes to
select from.
2. Fixed lots of bugs with scrolling of panels, visual bugs during
table row deletes.
3. Fixed lots of (but not all) visual inconsistencies, (e.g. JTextField
and JCombo box shown on the same screen used to have different size of
the widget and text under Metal look&feel). Also Windows L&F will loom
closer to Metal as far as fonts, etc. One thing that is still
unfinished (and looks a bit out of place under Windows L&F) is styles
of menus and buttons.
Currently (3) is implemented via static widget factories in
"modeler.util". I have a suspicion that there is a better and a
standard way of doing it in Swing (at least font sizes and styles, not
the behavior)?
In any case, such factories are a good start for the future
customizable user preferences.
