Kevin Menard commented on CAY-762:
----------------------------------
Nobody has championed the issue. I think it'd be a welcome addition to the modeler, but someone has to be willing and able to write the code.
As far as graphing libraries are concerned, the only hard requirement is that it's ASL-compatible:
http://apache.org/legal/3party.html
From a pragmatic standpoint, the library would have to be reasonably well-supported and well-documented. We don't want to end up in a position where we have to abandon the code because of problems with a graphing library upstream.

> Key: CAY-762
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-762
> Project: Cayenne
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: CayenneModeler GUI
> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Reporter: Ahmed Mohombe
> Assignee: Andrus Adamchik
>
> Please add an ER Diagram to the Cayenne Modeler. This is the feature that I miss the most from WebObjects.
> For start it would be even enough to have an ER Diagram View (so no interactive activities) - just display and layout of entities.
> I think this would help allot and would increase the productivity with CM - most people think visually.
> I don't think that it would be complicated to implement, the most complicated question to answer is what graph library is allowed to use, due to the restrictive "license compatibility" of the Apache license.
> Thanks in advance,
> Ahmed.
