Kevin Menard commented on CAY-1080:
-----------------------------------
I've just gotten a chance to look at this. A few things jump out immediately.
1) I have to chew over the changes to Cayenne core a bit more. Off hand, they
don't seem bad, but something feels weird about it.
2) While I can appreciate the cut working like a remove, it's a bit weird to be
prompted to delete the item.
3) I can't paste an ObjEntity I just cut back to the same DataMap. With the
lack of an undo feature, the only reasonable thing for me to do is a revert the
datamap.
4) I think my font changed for labels. I'll have to verify that.
Looking at #3 again, actually, I can't seem to paste at all. I even tried
creating a new DataMap and was unable to paste the ObjEntity to that.

> 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.
