    OK, maybe I spoke too soon. Does the Advanced generation actually
    work? I just looked at the output (I knew it would be Java, so I
    didn't look before) and it wasn't what I was expecting. For example:

    /tmp> more _Customer.mm
    /** Class ${classGen.superPrefix}${classGen.className} was generated by Cayenne.
      * It is probably a good idea to avoid changing this class manually,
      * since it may be overwritten next time code is regenerated.
      * If you need to make any customizations, please use subclass.
      */
    public class ${classGen.superPrefix}${classGen.className} extends
    $classGen.superClassName {

    }

    This isn't actually Java -- it didn't process the template. I tried
    changing the output pattern back to *.java and got:

    /tmp> more Customer.java

    public class ${classGen.className} extends
    ${classGen.superPrefix}${classGen.className} {

    }

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks,

    /dev/mrg

    PS. For Objective-C, it'll have to be done in two passes since a .h
    and a .m is required.
