Well, I see the problem. As it was discussed in past, we moved SmartNamingStrategy to modeler to get rid of extra dependency on Cayenne core.

Only that creates a new module that can make our maven structure more complex and unreadable. > - Find an alternative to the inflector lib. You mean to rewrite it from clean sheet? Inflector library is very small and event if we find an alternative, that will be a dependency either (?) It's also OK for me if we move the strategy to Cayenne core. Then we'll need compile dependency in core and "inclusive" - in modeler. So I suggest we either move it to core or create a separate module. But, if latter, I'm leaving the country today and won't be able to accomplish that in nearest two weeks. Thanks, Andrey
