Borut Bolčina commented on CAY-1029:
------------------------------------
Cayenne modeler is a great tool, but large models (or even not so large) a best modeled with tools like Visual Paradigm. I use VP for other purposes also, but primarily for designing the model and creating the schema/database.
Like Robert said, reverse engineering the database is a repeating task, especially in the earlier stages of the design. Having a maven plugin to generate mapping file without entering another application is a simple time optimization for my/our dev process.
