Hello,
The idea of opening modeler in same JVM is nice. Thus we can integrate our
Swing application to Eclipse lifecycle. My comments are inline.
(0). (not linked with plugin) After upgrading my 3.0 project to version 6,
DataSourceFactory was not set (to DriverDataSourceFactory). Combobox in
modeler showed XMLPoolingDataSourceFactory (which is not in dropdown liswt
BTW) and project could not be saved ("datanode location not defined). Manual
changing to DriverDataSourceFactory solved the problem.
(1) Can we have menu item Open With -> Cayenne Modeler so that user wouldn't
have to choose "Other..." dialog every time?
(2). "Cayenne Project" item in "New" dialog would be a very good way to
create new projects.
(3). When saving dialog, irritating dialog popups saying that project files
were changed in on disk [in eclipse]. This is not correct as files were
changed in CM, so there must be a hack to override the behavior (e.g. manual
changing dates in ProjectWatchdog FileInfo's)
(4) Classgen dialogs are little irritating as well, especially if there are
no changes in classes themselves (e.g. chaging schema name). This is
actually a problem I've been facing for a long time, I think we need to
track changes of ObjEntities and show popup dialog if there are some (and
check only them). Also classgen dialogs show on top of validation errors,
not sure this is fine.
(5). If something else than datamap is selected in tree (e.g. dataNode),
project does not save
My conclusion is that, a little improved, the plugin will be definitely
useful and I vote it to be part of Cayenne (integrated in SVN for the start)
