Does modello still have a place?

[Joakim Erdfelt]

I've been wondering if we should reevaluate our decision to use modello, 
now that we've made a decision to use JDK 1.5 we've got Annotations, and 
we've also collectively agreed to use Spring, which has some integration 
points too.

It seems that we can drop modello and just use static classes and 
Annotations to get the jdo mapping pieces and xml bindings for the 
database backup/restore functions too.

wdyt?
