I am still to play with Matisse, but while we are on the Modeler
topic, yesterday I tried this little plugin engine:
http://platonos.sourceforge.net/
Looks very promising - in just under an hour I created a generic
Swing shell application that can run arbitrary plugins. The authors
claim that they followed Eclipse plugin system design, but the
platonos library size is just 64k (compare that to Eclipse!). I still
need to get more experience with it, but I think we may switch
CayenneModeler 2.0 to Platonos.
[In fact I wrote a similar plugin runtime myself for a customer a few
months ago, but (aside from not being open source) it didn't support
extension points and hence was fairly inflexible.]

You can skip ahead to the Matisse section. I like the fact they've
copied
Interface Builder's springs. Still might be worth considering for
a new
Cayenne Modeler ...
Thoughts/experiences appreciated. :-)
