Thanks Robert. I was going to do that.
The biggest problem with the preferences is HSQLDB locking. The lock
file is left around if the Modeler stops abnormally (e.g. if killed
from Eclipse). The recovery strategy is very naive - CM would copy the
locked database into a separate DB file, and keep working with it. So
once you close and reopen the modeler, you won't see prefs from the
last session, but rather the same copy from the locked original would
occur.
This is one of those outstanding old issues that we never have time to
look at. I guess the best strategy would be to drop Cayenne as a
preferences mechanism, and start using Java Preferences API.

Hey all, this is now working for me, but, as mentioned in my
comment, I had to wipe out my preferences first. I'm still in the
process of fully grokking the stack surrounding modeler preferences,
so I'm not sure if this is due to some issue with my prefs, or some
issue with the code as it stands now; so I'd appreciate it if
someone could check out the modeler from trunk and see if the
modeler now correctly "remembers" a modified output folder.
Thanks,
Robert
