    Andrus Adamchik commented on CAY-481:
    -------------------------------------

    This is an OS X convention (a button on the right performs the main operation, while Close/Cancel is less prominent, usually to the left of the "main" button...). Correct solution would be to implement some platform-sensitive button layout strategy. Patches welcome.

    > Key: CAY-481
    > URL: https://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-481
    > Project: Cayenne
    > Issue Type: Improvement
    > Components: CayenneModeler GUI
    > Affects Versions: 1.2 [STABLE]
    > Environment: Windows
    > Reporter: Malcolm Edgar
    > Priority: Minor

    > Hi,
    > I have notice that in some of the Cayenne Modeller dialogs the "Close" and "Cancel" buttons are not always the right most button.
    > This is generally the convention with Microsoft Windows (cant remember if this is also the case with MacOS).
    > While this may sound trivial issue, when I cancel or close dialogs I will often hit the right hand button without even reading the label. In the "Generate DB Schema: Options" I actually dropped the existing tables when I hit the "Generate" button by accident. This was not what I was expecting.
    > Dialogs which do not have the Cancel/Close on the right hand side include:
    > "Reengineer DB Schema: Connect to Database"
    > "Reengineer DB Schema: Options"
    > "Generate Java Classes"
    > "Generate DB Schema: Connect to Database"
    > "Generate DB Schema: Options"
    > "Edit Preferences"
    > regards Malcolm Edgar'
