I have a similar understanding as to the LGPL dependencies. Finding a different way to build the exe is prob the best long term solution but we can do releases while in the apache incubator with dependencies, just have to be explicit about it.

Of course, that may be a moot point because launch4j is
LGPL/GPL-licensed. At some point we need to remove this entirely from
our repository in order to leave incubation. We'll need to make it a
downloadable add-on for the "release win" target. This shouldn't be
too difficult.

It maybe worse that that - the runtime exe wrapper is LGPL according to the Launch4J site. Can we release the Modeler from Apache (and under Apache license) if it is statically linked against an LGPL library? I would think we can't??

If my suspicion is true, we'll either have to keep the Windows Modeler port as an ObjectStyle project, external to Cayenne, or find a different way to build the exe :-/
