Jack is an intern at ish who has been working on this task. We
discussed the basic design strategy and class structure, and Jack has
put together some code. We'd like some feedback about the approach,
especially the idea of superclassing the CayenneMapItems to allow for
the code to live in one place.
The next step will be to implement the Cayenne Modeler UI, for which
I've drawn some mockups Jack will implement.
