    --------------------------------

    > Here's one that is a possibility: http://gef.tigris.org/
    >I think this is the same library used by Eclipse for its UML diagram drawing, so that bodes well for its long term
    > viability.
    They're not the same. In fact they have *nothing* in common except the same name.

    The Tigris GEF was used by Argo UML, but it has an ugly API and it was pretty abandoned last time I checked.
    The Eclipse GEF is a SWT library (*not Swing*), so it requires Eclipse RCP to run.

    > Project: Cayenne
    > Issue Type: New Feature
    > Components: CayenneModeler GUI
    > Affects Versions: 3.0
    > Reporter: Ahmed Mohombe
    > Assignee: Andrus Adamchik
    >
    > Please add an ER Diagram to the Cayenne Modeler. This is the feature that I miss the most from WebObjects.
    > For start it would be even enough to have an ER Diagram View (so no interactive activities) - just display and layout of entities.
    > I think this would help allot and would increase the productivity with CM - most people think visually.
    > I don't think that it would be complicated to implement, the most complicated question to answer is what graph library is allowed to use, due to the restrictive "license compatibility" of the Apache license.
    > Thanks in advance,
    > Ahmed.
