Hi Marcel,
I committed the patch. I like the evolution of the graph look. Here
is some notes.
1. Dropdowns:
I am testing on Mac OS. Compare how the dropdowns look in standard
Eclipse and Cayenne ROP example app:

http://people.apache.org/~aadamchik/dropdown-cayenne-rop.png
It is not only a question of looks, the later also are hard to
navigate sometimes, as the scrollbars are often messed up. Probably
this is a toolkit problem, but there is no such problem in the rest
of Eclipse.
2. Collection navigation. I do not know what to suggest as I don't
know much about GEF capabilities, but it still feels extremely
unnatural.
3. When you insert a new object, it ends up in the bottom of
collection. Would be nice to expand it out and also activate the
properties tab for this object to allow immediate property editing.
4. I finally figured out how to enter query parameters in the select
object dialog. This is very unintuitive. Also if I change the entity
in the Control Panel "Select Query" dropdown, and click on
"Parameters..", the old entity parameters are shown in the dialog.
