Awesome, thanks! I think it is a bit too early to officially release the plugin (it is too raw IMO), but having "unofficial" snapshot jars available for people to try is probably a good idea. I also have an older version at http://people.apache.org/~aadamchik/cayenne-modeler-eclipse-plugin-3.1M4-SNAPSHOT.jar .
