In the OSX dmg I can see several files I don't understand.
cayenne-agent.jar
This was for class enhancement. Since the POJOs are not really working
in 3.0, we can remove it from the future betas.
cayenne-tools.jar
Ant tasks. We don't want them in the main Jar, because they have lots
of specific dependencies that we don't want to be attached by Maven to
the user apps.
cayenne-modeler.jar
Well, I do understand the last one, but I don't know why it is there
since we already ship CayenneModeler.app.
This is a CayenneModeler "library" used for JNDI hack:
http://cayenne.apache.org/doc/local-datasources.html
I hope we can strip the read-JNDI-from-preferences code out of the
modeler, but this is pending a decision on Modeler preferences format
in general.
Also, why do we have META-INF inside the src directory? Let's get
rid of it.
+1.
I'd like to see the 'dotemplates' folder renamed to "entity
templates" (hey this is 2009 we are allowed to use spaces) and
placed at the top level.
We are, but we'll probably get punished for it in some unforeseen
ways :-) We can just call it "templates" going forward.
Finally, let's remove the cayenne-3.0B1 folder. So the results would
be like this:
cayenne.dmg
- CayenneModeler.app
- lib
- cayenne-client-3.0.jar
...
I sort of like that I can mount a DMG, then drag the Modeler to
desktop, and drag cayenne-3.0B1 to the folder where I keep other
similar libraries. Looks very intuitive to me.
