Maybe, but what I'm missing from Cayenne(+modeler) are really "comments"
in the simple form, not annotations or other fancy things: just comments.
Depending on the working procedure, to be able to propagate them(or override). E.g.:
1.
DB[DBTool] -> DataMap[CM] -> JavaDoc[CM generated]
- in this case, by reverse engineering a DB, to propagate the DB comments till
the generated Java sources, to benefit from the IDE quick help (or override them
if the mapping is not straight forward).
2.
DataMap[CM] -> DB [CM generated]
|
v
JavaDoc[CM generated]
- in this case, by generating the DB, to include the comments in the DDL and in the java sources too.
The above are the most used approaches when working with Cayenne, and the only thing that is really
missing right now are the comments.
