I am taking this to the list... We had a number of discussions in the past about the fate of DVModeler (and DataViews technology in general), and while there are a few interested users, there are exactly zero interested developers. Please prove me otherwise.

I do feel like keeping it around is a good idea, but keeping it in the main repo would always imply that we support this technology at the same level as the rest of Cayenne. And we don't. I don't even think we have enough commitment to properly review the patches...

I guess the right thing at this point would be to place the DV stuff to a sandbox SVN folder and then wait see if the talk about revival is not just talk. We can accept patches to sandbox. I guess we'll start by doing "svn cp" of the DVModeler, and then when I have some time, I can refactor the runtime framework to extract DV runtime from Cayenne proper and into the sandbox.

-----------------------------------

Please reopen it.
There were several developers interested in this project on the cayenne dev lists and I also have a few patches and there's nowhere to submit them.

I think that including it in the HEAD will ease the "revival" of the project. There was no problem with DV modeler in 1.2/2.0 so why should be in 3.0? Is this a Maven problem? (cause it looks to me that it's more an overhead than a help, at list in the "complicated" build of canenne modeler)

Thanks in advance,

Ahmed.

Add DV Modeler back to the HEAD.

                Key: CAY-761
                URL: https://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-761
            Project: Cayenne
         Issue Type: Bug
   Affects Versions: 3.0
           Reporter: Ahmed Mohombe
        Assigned To: Andrus Adamchik
           Priority: Critical

Please add the DV Modeler back to the HEAD. It looks like during the "mavenization" it was left out. Since 1.2 and 2.0 branch is "frozen" and "accepts" only bug fixes, is very hard to submit patches for DVModeler this way. The problem is also that the "structure" of the source tree was totally changed (due to maven) so it's even harder to create a patch.
Thanks in advance,
Ahmed.
