Sounds great :-)
It is definitely too early to talk about the details, but let me just
mention one important aspect here. A pure donation of a code rarely
works out well without a desire of the original authors to at least
help to integrate it, and ideally lead the development/maintenance
effort in the open source environment. We had such experience with
Cayenne DataViews technology which is an excellent piece of
engineering, but with nobody to lead it, it quietly died and was
excluded from Cayenne.

You are absolutely correct. Once this product comes out of beta we
might
be inclined to donate the modeling environment code. Since it's a 100%
embeddable library it should be quite easy to integrate it into the
Cayenne modeler. I would rather not have to maintain it since it's not
really part of application runtime IP but just a necessary component
of
the dev environment. Another interesting benefit of this modeler is
that
it is coded as an ROP client component therefore you can use it over
HTTP.

Pretty cool. If your implementation of the visual modeling part were
at
all compatible with CayenneModeler, and if you were willing to donate
that to Apache and help develop it here... ;-) Anyways, this is your
IP,
so I am only dreaming :-)
Perhaps, but the donor also gets great benefits in having a whole
bunch
of people helping to improve and maintain the code.
Back on dev topics, Jack has finished his secondment at ish now and
posted his DataMapElement.Property implementation. I'll do some
cleanup
on it (mostly naming and style) and some commenting and commit it
unless
anyone has something to say.
