More on the DataViews...
* I have no experience using it on a project, so I can't comment on
the usefulness of this particular implementation, but the idea looks
good.
* DV runtime and DVModeler went through Apache IP clearance process
with the rest of Cayenne, so any new development can and should
proceed at ASF.
* If we (cayenne dev community) are to continue the development, as a
first step I suggest making Cayenne core independent of DV runtime.
Right now cayenne.xml and Configuration class have direct dependency
on DV. This is bad IMO - DV is just one of the possible extensions
and should be treated as an extension. So I guess all DV code needs
to be extracted in a separate Maven module, and use either a property
mechanism (CAY-400) or its own descriptor to bootstrap itself.
