Robert Zeigler commented on CAY-1181:
-------------------------------------
Now that CAY-1158 is fixed, it would be /really/ nice if the modeler would pick
up the appropriate java source directory automatically. One way to do this
would be to code logic directly into the modeler that checks for a maven-like
structure and "guesses" at src/main/java. But I'm not necessarily keen on this
approach; true, src/main/java is /usually/ where the folder is, but that's not
written in stone. In the context of CAY-1158, where the modeler is being
loaded directly by maven, it would be nice to have an external method of
specifying the class generation folder. Perhaps an additional command line
argument, or via a system property? Definitely interested in getting a bit of
discussion going on this b/c having to constantly change the output folder is
starting to get old; I have an itch to scratch on this one.

> Key: CAY-1181
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-1181
> Project: Cayenne
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Cayenne Core Library
> Affects Versions: 3.0M5
> Reporter: Andrus Adamchik
> Assignee: Andrus Adamchik
>
> Default class generation folder in the modeler (Tools > Generate Classes >
> Output directory) is selected to be the folder where cayenne.xml is stored.
> If a user changes it, it is not saved in user preferences, so on the next
> attempt to generate classes the old folder is shown.
> Another related improvement: In a project that has Maven folder layout,
> cayenne.xml is often is src/main/resources. In this case we must select a
> default folder ot be src/mainjava (for "src/test/resources" it should be
> src/test/java). I.e. we should be smarter when we are dealing with
> predictable maven structures.
