Hi Dov,
Some objects in cayenne.xml and *.map.xml support a <property> child
tag, so standard XML format is almost suitable for what you are
looking for. Also there is an often-requested and a long-standing
issue [1] to implement support for arbitrary properties for all
mapped objects in the Modeler and runtime. Would be nice if your work
would advance this task as well. (and we need to address it at some
point, I am really embarrassed that we haven't yet).
Does the Cayenne Modeler have any documentation on where I might
change
things or add new functionality.
Not really. But I think it won't be too hard to find your way around.
Please ask questions on the dev list about specific things you want
to do, and somebody should be able to point you in the right direction.
Thanks
Andrus

I am interested in perhaps using the Cayenne Modeler to do some
additional
tasks. Specifically I was interested in adding in some additional
data into
the cayenne.xml or *.map.xml files for our own usage (like indexes,
constraints, comments and potentially other stuff specific to our
application). I would like to add my own code generators to be able to
generate other config and documentation files as well.

interest to the general public (maybe)
Thanks in advance
