I knew this will come up. Really, I have no objections to XML format.
It is just that the format I suggested is much simpler to work with: want
to add a new datanode - just append to the end of the file.... This is the
format of every other tool out there.
After saying that, I want to say that I agree with the argument below. I
guess I am gonna stick with XML... Always go with the crowd, and you never
loose. (Also java does not have built-in regular expression tools , but
does have a lot of XML stuff, so maybe inserting a line into a file is not
such an easy task after all... )
Ok, then we are going to have a ".cayenne.xml" file in a home directory....
