    Agree. We can have a cayenne-project module (i.e. something not
    belonging to either GUI or runtime).

    That would've been ideal, but likely won't work. IIRC Mike from WOLips
    commented on that at one point, saying it is not possible to have a
    single tool for both Cayenne and EOF. I think he looked at the Modeler
    initially (or maybe even used some of the code?) but couldn't keep it
    as a common library due to lots of "small" differences. Still probably
    worth pinging WOLips community to get some feedback on the idea.
