Cool!
I like the diagram, it makes the big-picture easier to grasp.
Here are my list of thoughts on this and I'm totally open to any
feedback on it.
So to invert the list Andrus put together and put it in terms of
dependencies (transients implied and not explicitly listed)
Module Dependencies
cayenne-core - external stuff
cayenne-core-java-1.5 cayenne-core
cayenne-remote cayenne-core
cayenne-server cayenne-core, cayenne-remote
cayenne-server-java-1.5 cayenne-server
cayenne-jpa cayenne-server (shouldn't this be
cayenne-core-java-1.5?)
cayenne-webobjects cayenne-core
modeler-plugin swing-plugin, cayenne-webobjects, cayenne-server
swing-plugin plugin-launcher
plugin-launcher - external stuff
We have 3 Assemblies:
Generic Java Runs Anywhere (modeler without platform specific launcher)
OSX Cayenne Modeler Launcher
Windows Cayenne Modeler Launcher
This I think is the big picture and will be a guide to our assemblies
and internal dependencies.
On the site, I'm positive that we can use the existing layout and
images, I'm just not sure how to make that happen. I will look into
that and post another thread on it.
There are also a bunch of changes that need to happen to the layout
of the directories of the code. Once we have agreement that this is
the proper dependency and assembly stuff I'll get started on putting
the pom's together.
I will post another thread about directory layout changes.
In the mean time here are some url's to m2 documentation for those
interested;
http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/index.html
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-
standard-directory-layout.html
You can also get a free copy of 'Better Builds With Maven' from here;

with my registration but I'm not sure how long that will last before
they force you to 'login' again. I get about 1 or 2 emails from them
a months for he joy of the book, I think there is an 'opt out' but
its not that annoying so I just delete them.
I reviewed the book while I was learning m2 and found it quite helpful.
I'm off to do directory structure spelunking.

Now seems like the best time to initiate Maven 2 migration. I tried
to identify logical dependencies that can be mapped to Maven
modules (see a little diagram here [1]). The same diagram in terms
of Maven project structure may look like this:
cayenne
core
cayenne-core
cayenne-core-java-1.5
cayenne-remote
cayenne-server
cayenne-server-java-1.5
cayenne-jpa
cayenne-webobjects
modeler
modeler-plugin
plugin-launcher
swing-plugin
The structure reflects the excludes used in the cayenne-ant/ant/
cayenne-java.xml to build smallest possible client jars, and also
the fact that WebObjects community uses Cayenne as a third-party
open source lib for various things [2]. We could split a number of
other small standalone modules (cayenne-xml, cayenne-datasource,
cayenne-events), but I wouldn't worry about that now, let's settle
on the big picture first.
Thoughts?
