Github user LosD commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/metamodel/pull/148 My 2 cents regarding helpers (without having looked at the actual code): While any kind of utility or helper class is an anti pattern, if the JoinHelper centers around the same subject and MetaModelHelper does not, it's much preferable to keep them separate. IMHO, we'd want to remove methods from MetaModelHelper (to the point it ceases to be at some point), not add to it.
