I am taking this to the list... We had a number of discussions in the
past about the fate of DVModeler (and DataViews technology in
general), and while there are a few interested users, there are
exactly zero interested developers. Please prove me otherwise.
I do feel like keeping it around is a good idea, but keeping it in
the main repo would always imply that we support this technology at
the same level as the rest of Cayenne. And we don't. I don't even
think we have enough commitment to properly review the patches...
I guess the right thing at this point would be to place the DV stuff
to a sandbox SVN folder and then wait see if the talk about revival
is not just talk. We can accept patches to sandbox. I guess we'll
start by doing "svn cp" of the DVModeler, and then when I have some
time, I can refactor the runtime framework to extract DV runtime from
Cayenne proper and into the sandbox.
