    Tiho Lupak commented on CAY-762:
    --------------------------------

    > A little Googling has revealed that this product was based on a proprietary graphing engine (jgraph) and the
    > JDOGenie product itself appears abandoned. It was a commercial product at some point.
    It was a very good product. I used it. I gave it as an example of a good ORM tool, something one can learn from.
    The company producing it was aquired by the concurrence, and it discontined the product line (like it usually happens with hostile aquisitions)

    Also jgraph is not proprietary, it's just LGPL.

    > 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.
