One advantage of an html/js frontend would be to offer a service on our
website into which a user could paste their DDL as SQL, and get back:
1. a Cayenne map xml
2. a visual representation of their schema [1]
3. an editor which allows them to make changes
4. The ability to export an updated DDL
5. Some sort of sharing link so they can share and discuss with co-workers
Here's a company I just found doing something similar.

The main advantage of this approach is to give Cayenne greater exposure.
People come for the tool and walk away with a whole ORM.
I'm ccing this to the dev@ list where it makes more sense.
