Tony, yes, you're right - the tags are missing on the Java files. I remember why: When I tried to set the tag, Eclipse suddenly reported a broken connection (timeout) to the CVS server. The server itself was OK, however. I tried once more but to no avail. It seemed as if Eclipse had difficulties to tag the super-large "lib" directory that we have (just an impression that I had).

When you start fixing bugs, could you have a look at velocity.log? Velocity reports a lot of tiny problems when it interprets EntityBean.vsl. It seems as if this template needs some polishing. > It would be nice to be able to start a new project by telling > a wizard the cartridges you want to use and it would contrust > you a project with all the necessary build rules and a > minimal uml model that would be immediately buildable.

Yes, this was the way I thought in my "sharpening the bleeding edge" brainstorming email, too. Would be absolutely fascinating. Let us know when you make progress.
