Angelo, Chuck, et al.,

There is a bug in Eclipse 4.3 where you cannot select entities, attributes or 
relationships in the right-hand pane because it does NOT update the Properties 
tab, so it is very easy to think you are editing one thing but in-fact be 
editing something else. You MUST select everything in the Outline tab.

Also, in both 3.7 and 4.3 EntityModeler does *not* watch for changes to any of 
the .eomodeld packages that it has open. This causes EM to be out-of-sync with 
the file system under *at least* the following conditions:

1) Manually editing any of the .eomodeld files with a text editor
2) Having more than one EntityModeler perspective or tab open at once - which 
WOLips does by default when you cmd-shift-v open an Entity or Model, even if 
they are already open (maybe this can be fixed by setting the preference to 
“reuse” an editor, I haven’t checked)
3) Pulling/merging/etc changes from a source code repository
4) Full moons (not in the celestial sense)

Over time EntityModeler has become what EOModeler / WOBuilder used to be: 
Awesome tools that are amazingly helpful, but have bugs that require a lot of 
routine work-arounds that new/occasional users will not know about or remember.

I’ve looked into trying to fix some of these bugs in EntityModeler, but Eclipse 
plugin development is … well … not-so-WOish.

I’ll try to get to documenting some of these things in the WOLips issues:
