[forwarding to dev, as it is easier to discuss things on a mailing
list compared to Jira]
One of the guys I am working with, Dima Loiko, started some work on
CAY-1181 Jira (again here we are dealing with the issue that I raised
before: people who are interested in working on Cayenne but don't know
English well enough to communicate on the list, resulting in a very un-
Apache under-the-radar activity. Anyways I don't know how to overcome
this problem now, so I will keep working as a proxy)...

I am +1 on creating an override for the default source generation
folder that can be used when starting from Maven. Maybe you can handle
the Maven side of things and Dima will pick it up on the Modeler end?
Let's just agree on the property name. Modeler currently uses
"cayenne.version" and "cayenne.build.date" properties. Maybe
"cayenne.cgen.destdir" ?
