You guys probably know this already but Eclipse does have support for refreshing files outside the
IDE. It uses polling though, so it far from perfect:
Preferences > General > Workspace > Refresh Automatically
Not sure about IDEA but Netbeans also supports this feature.

I agree with this assessment.
On the other hand there is a chance that starting a prototype will cause
interest in the community and we'll get dedicated participants. This is
a case of "build it and they'll come". E.g. Apache Click project has a
simple Cayenne plugin. Maybe we can collaborate with them somehow. So
there's hope (and there's also Summer of Code next year ;-)).
I am no Eclipse platform guru either, and have very little time, but I
am interested enough to start poking and prototype a plugin that does
something that Modeler doesn't. So that it will be a nice-to-have plugin
for Cayenne users, even though it does not substitute the Modeler. This
may generate some interest (or not).
But yeah, I agree with you, and let's step carefully and try not to
overcommit ourselves to something that we can't deliver.
