More on the DataViews...
* I have no experience using it on a project, so I can't comment on
the usefulness of this particular implementation, but the idea looks
good.
* DV runtime and DVModeler went through Apache IP clearance process
with the rest of Cayenne, so any new development can and should
proceed at ASF.
* If we (cayenne dev community) are to continue the development, as a
first step I suggest making Cayenne core independent of DV runtime.
Right now cayenne.xml and Configuration class have direct dependency
on DV. This is bad IMO - DV is just one of the possible extensions
and should be treated as an extension. So I guess all DV code needs
to be extracted in a separate Maven module, and use either a property
mechanism (CAY-400) or its own descriptor to bootstrap itself.

Hi Andrus,
What was your experience with using DataViews, did you get much
development productivity / maintenance benefit from this approach?
If I was to take this up, would this be hosted under ObjectStyle or
Apache ?

Hi Malcolm,
DVModeler is available up to and including 2.0.x release.
We removed it from the trunk recently, because there are no
volunteers to support it, and it hasn't been updated for many years
now, becoming a liability. We can always resurrect it if somebody
steps in and dedicates enough time to this piece of technology.
