Before I comment on the substance of Mike's message, let me suggest one
thing - how about giving Mike a committer status? We will still have to
discuss any changes to the framework on this list, but he won't have to
jump through the hoops to get things done.
As many of our past committers are "retired", I wouldn't wait long to
collect all the votes, just a few days maybe. Everyone who is on this
list long enough knows that Mike has done a number of important things
for Cayenne (OpenBaseAdapter, optimistic locking - just a few things
that come to mind). Also he helped us a lot in driving the development
in the right direction.
Here is my +1.

Cool! That's definitely something we need to have in the Modeler.
Regarding the setup... One thing you definitely have to do is to mount
all JAR files (including hsql*.jar) in lib/modeler directory as the
project libraries. Still I really can't guarantee that the source
distributed with download will behave smoothly as a standalone eclipse
project. I strongly recommend using CVS, and once you get committer
access, this won't be such a hassle. Besides we have past releases
tagged, so if you want to stay with a stable version of code you will
always have this opportunity. On checkout simply copy
contrib/ide/eclipse/* to the project root and you'll get things running
in no time.
BTW, when developing Cayenne I am running the modeler from Eclipse and
it works just fine, with debugger and all.
