I checked the src for Data View Modeler and the demo in the Cayenne Sandbox.
The tool is not finished but it will be in two weeks. The GUI design is
almost complete, but various editing functions are still broken and it is
not tested thoroughly. My special thanks to Natasha Kholodnaya a friend of
mine, Java developer, who has authored most of the classes in the
implementation of Cayenne Data View Modeler and continues working on it in
collaboration with me. Without her help I could not have hoped to advance so
far by this time. After DVModeler is included in the official Cayenne I
suggest that we put her name in the list of Cayenne contributors.
DVModeler relies on the libraries:
sandbox/andriy/lib/forms-1.0.1.jar
sandbox/andriy/lib/plastic-1.1.2.jar
by Karsten Lentzsch the GUI Design and Swing Guru (http://www.jgoodies.com).
I learned a lot from this great expert. The design of DVModeler is highly
influenced by his style.
The code is located in
sandbox/andriy/dvmodeler/src
See also
sandbox/andriy/dvmodeler/examples
for the deployed dvmodeler.jar and how to try it out. Hope you will like it.
Warning! Do not work with you critical data in DVModeler, it is not of
production quality yet.
See
sandbox/andriy/dvmodeler/doc
for the DVModeler screenshot.
To support Data Views as integrated part of Cayenne projects I am extending
the Cayenne project DTD. You can see an example of such a Cayenne project in
the examples directory. I will formulate the exact format of the DTD
extention in a couple of days.
Enjoy.
