I would suggest to move DV "out of the way" so that it is not
hurting the
normal Cayenne development. But please keep DataViews supported. I am
currently in the process to switch to Cayenne 3.x because I absolutely
need the Lifecycle Callbacks (generating uuid formated key when
creating a
new object and updating the last_updated field before committing
changes).
Because the SOBF tool is that much depending on DataViews I would very
much like to see them at least not removed. I would hate to have to
redo
everything I already programmed only because of DataViews being
removed
from Cayenne.
This sounds like a reasonable strategy. I guess we can promise that
much. But again, I appreciate if all interested parties could
actually help us with DV maintenance. You probably know much more
about DV than myself or any of the current committers anyways :-)
As the history shows (DV, JStaple and Rowan projects), there is lots
of interest in Swing-related technologies in our community, but not
nearly as much commitment. I suspect it is because Swing is not
paying anyone's bills consistently (e.g. I may have a 2-month Swing
project and then switch back to webapps, I believe that's the case
with others too).
It would be cool if we could find one or more dedicated developers
with a vision in this area to lead the Swing effort. But I'll keep
dreaming...

assessing information security risk)
I like your website :-)
