    I agree with this assessment.

    On the other hand there is a chance that starting a prototype will
    cause interest in the community and we'll get dedicated participants.
    This is a case of "build it and they'll come". E.g. Apache Click
    project has a simple Cayenne plugin. Maybe we can collaborate with
    them somehow. So there's hope (and there's also Summer of Code next
    year ;-)).

    I am no Eclipse platform guru either, and have very little time, but I
    am interested enough to start poking and prototype a plugin that does
    something that Modeler doesn't. So that it will be a nice-to-have
    plugin for Cayenne users, even though it does not substitute the
    Modeler. This may generate some interest (or not).

    But yeah, I agree with you, and let's step carefully and try not to
    overcommit ourselves to something that we can't deliver.

    Andrus
