It's pretty easy to generate the classes from the Modeler menu, or from an ant target. I do it both ways, but use ant more often now since it always has the right settings. If you are using ant, the setup could look like this: <path id="cgen.classpath"> <fileset dir="path/to/cayenne" includes="cayenne-server*.jar" /> <fileset dir="path/to/cayenne" includes="cayenne-di*.jar" /> <fileset dir="path/to/cayenne" includes="commons-*.jar" /> <fileset dir="path/to/cayenne" includes="velocity-*.jar" /> <fileset dir="path/to/cayenne-tools" includes="*.jar" /> </path> <typedef resource="org/apache/cayenne/tools/antlib.xml"> <classpath refid="cgen.classpath"/> </typedef> <target name="generate.entity.classes"> <touch file="src/MyModel.map.xml" /> <cgen map="src/MyModel.map.xml" superpkg="com.company.cayenne.auto" supertemplate="superclass.vm" template="subclass.vm" destDir="src" outputPattern="*.java" encoding="UTF-8" mode="all" /> </target> You may be able to add an eclipse "builder" to do it automatically - not sure.. 2) I can't figure out how to get the modeler to build classes into the > right directories honoring packages.
