I'm raising the vote release Cayenne 3.0 M5. I've prepared and signed the 3.0M5 binaries and they are available here: http://people.apache.org/~kmenard/release/3.0M5/ Here is my +1 for the release.
It is looking good and everything seems to be in the OSX build correctly, although I'll do a little more testing. I am curious about the layout of certain folders though:
1. I've never known what "dotemplates" means. Could we rename that to something more obvious like "entity templates" 2. Is v1_2 confusing since it doesn't match the Cayenne versioning and there isn't any sense of how 1.2 relates to 3.0M5. 3. Can we get rid of the deprecated templates outside the 1.2 folder which really shouldn't be offered for use. If people are already using old templates, then let's support them, but let's not encourage their use. 4. Should we create a schema for the Cayenne XML format? It should be quite simple I think and Cayenne modeler could even perform integrity checking to ensure generated models match the schema. 5. There should be separation of the third-party libraries into separate folders. Some are needed by Cayenne core, some only by the modeler or cgen (eg velocity) and one by JPA.
I don't think any of the above should hold back release, but I wanted to mention them while I was looking at these things.
