    I don't think you can disable or redirect downloads button without

    Good idea (not sure if it will allow you to schedule it with the past
    date, otherwise it will appear as if Cayenne migrated to Apache in
    2009).

    Or something along these lines: "Cayenne project at SourceForge is
    dedicated to hosting a legacy 1.2 release. For up to date releases
    please visit cayenne.apache.org"
