Exactly :).
As I mentioned in my previous mail, dev.java.net has many many small frameworks that help do
specific things, without the need to get deep in some heavyweight RCP.
Most of them are also small enough for a person to very fast understand them, and also the authors
are very helping.
AFAIK Flexdoc was originally developed by Marius here:
http://www.eleritec.net/
and now is maintained is maintained by Scott Delap.
He is the owner of this: http://www.clientjava.com/ - the top GUI blog so far, and the his book is
also very good :).
While Flexdoc is far from ready, is was very usable for most projects where I used it or I saw it
used by others. IMHO it has everything CayenneModeler would need.
Ahmed.
P.S. If you wish, I could make a list of frameworks that I used and could deliver different
functionalities for CayenneModeler (as a replacement for a full blown RCP :) ) - just tell me :) .
