I've been using Cayenne, Tapestry, Spindle & Eclipse for a little while
now and here is a quick dump of what a Cayenne Eclipse plugin might
address.
While the Cayenne GUI is great, any self-respecting OR mapper should
aspire to have an Eclipse plugin these days. :-)
- Be like Spindle. Anyone who are thinking about creating a Cayenne
Eclipse plugin should take Spindle for a spin. It basically smartens
up the editing of Tapestry .xml/.html files by coloring, ctrl-space
completion and various other operations. Using the same approach
shold also realize synergy effects w/Spindle+Tapestry.
- Add outline view w/add+rename+delete fields/relations, etc. operations
- refactoring with roundtripping support.
By this I mean the ability to e.g. rename a database field and have
the Cayenne files be updated, or vice versa.
- add database field to table. This should update the classes,
database and Cayenne xml files.
Are there any Cayenne Eclipse plugin efforts underway?
