It is looking good and everything seems to be in the OSX build
correctly, although I'll do a little more testing. I am curious about
the layout of certain folders though:
1. I've never known what "dotemplates" means. Could we rename that to
something more obvious like "entity templates"
2. Is v1_2 confusing since it doesn't match the Cayenne versioning and
there isn't any sense of how 1.2 relates to 3.0M5.
3. Can we get rid of the deprecated templates outside the 1.2 folder
which really shouldn't be offered for use. If people are already using
old templates, then let's support them, but let's not encourage their
use.
4. Should we create a schema for the Cayenne XML format? It should be
quite simple I think and Cayenne modeler could even perform integrity
checking to ensure generated models match the schema.
5. There should be separation of the third-party libraries into
separate folders. Some are needed by Cayenne core, some only by the
modeler or cgen (eg velocity) and one by JPA.
I don't think any of the above should hold back release, but I wanted
to mention them while I was looking at these things.
