I'd say CAY-659 itself is a standalone feature, not a duplicate. However implementation may use the properties mechanism (i.e. make "comment" a special property). With this approach CAY-659 is a dependent of CAY-400... or not if we make it a standalone ivar.
I think that was the idea from last time we discussed this. key/value pairs which could be attached to attributes, entities, etc. and a special key "doc" which would have significance in terms of generating javadocs in the generated code. There is nothing special about that key other than cgen would read insert its values in the appropriate places.
Really the only hard part of this is creating a GUI in Cayenne modeler which allows for adding reasonably long bits of text to attributes, relations, etc. while not hiding them away in popup windows where you can't easily see them as you review the model.
