Andrus Adamchik commented on CAY-1080:
--------------------------------------
I haven't looked at this in a while, but IIRC Java integrates with the OS
clipboard, so it would be ideal if CM copy/paste would operate using the
clipboard as well. So this sort of makes it cross-project and also cross
application. I.e. a user can paste what he copied to a text editor. (we can use
XML serialization built into most mapping objects to provide text
representation).

> Support for copy/paste of entities/attributes/relationships.
> This is GSoC 2008 task.
> Some of my ideas follow.
> We can implement copy-paste in two ways.
> First: the buffer is valid only within a sole project. So when you open
> another project, copied data is lost.
> Second, the buffer is stored in whole modeler application, or even system
> buffer. This allows to copy data between different projects, but is more
> complex because we need to create shallow copies of entities, attrs etc.
> Personally I use only one cayenne.xml currently.
