[forwarding to dev, as it is easier to discuss things on a mailing
list compared to Jira]
One of the guys I am working with, Dima Loiko, started some work on
CAY-1181 Jira (again here we are dealing with the issue that I raised
before: people who are interested in working on Cayenne but don't know
English well enough to communicate on the list, resulting in a very un-
Apache under-the-radar activity. Anyways I don't know how to overcome
this problem now, so I will keep working as a proxy)...
Perhaps an additional command line argument, or via a system
property? Definitely interested in getting a bit of discussion going
on this b/c having to constantly change the output folder is
starting to get old; I have an itch to scratch on this one.
I am +1 on creating an override for the default source generation
folder that can be used when starting from Maven. Maybe you can handle
the Maven side of things and Dima will pick it up on the Modeler end?
Let's just agree on the property name. Modeler currently uses
"cayenne.version" and "cayenne.build.date" properties. Maybe
"cayenne.cgen.destdir" ?

Robert Zeigler commented on CAY-1181:
-------------------------------------
Now that CAY-1158 is fixed, it would be /really/ nice if the modeler
would pick up the appropriate java source directory automatically.
One way to do this would be to code logic directly into the modeler
that checks for a maven-like structure and "guesses" at src/main/
java. But I'm not necessarily keen on this approach; true, src/main/
java is /usually/ where the folder is, but that's not written in
stone. In the context of CAY-1158, where the modeler is being
loaded directly by maven, it would be nice to have an external
method of specifying the class generation folder. Perhaps an
additional command line argument, or via a system property?

Default class generation folder is wrong
----------------------------------------
Key: CAY-1181
URL: https://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-1181
Project: Cayenne
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Cayenne Core Library
Affects Versions: 3.0M5
Reporter: Andrus Adamchik
Assignee: Andrus Adamchik
Default class generation folder in the modeler (Tools > Generate
Classes > Output directory) is selected to be the folder where
cayenne.xml is stored. If a user changes it, it is not saved in
user preferences, so on the next attempt to generate classes the
old folder is shown.
Another related improvement: In a project that has Maven folder
layout, cayenne.xml is often is src/main/resources. In this case we
must select a default folder ot be src/mainjava (for "src/test/
resources" it should be src/test/java). I.e. we should be smarter
when we are dealing with predictable maven structures.
