Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but: - shouldn't exactly the same functionality be in Cayenne Modeler, the Maven and the ANT task regarding the reverse engineering process? I.e. from the same user input parameters to produce exactly the same output - aka a nice and correctly generated datamap? - Cayenne Modeler already does this reverse engineering, so the functionality is practically already there? - the Maven and the ANT task would be than just a wrapper to call that functionality? - this would be than similar to the case of Cayenne ClassGeneration? If so, than wouldn't be the first step to refactor the actual Cayenne Modeler functionality(the already working) that already does reverse engineering to some common classes in: org.apache.cayenne.gen.* like it was done for ClassGeneration? to be simply callable from the Maven and ANT task, thus making them trivial to implement? Thank you, A.
