DATAVIEWS

This directory contains a dormant "DataViews" subproject that was previously
shipped with Cayenne. Since Cayenne release 3.0 DataViews were split into a 
separate package (located in this directory), and are no longer officially released. 
User can still compile DataViews from Subversion as described below.

For the history of how DataViews ended up as a separate unsupported project, follow 
this link:

   https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAY-824

The main difference in the runtime API with previous release is the use of
'org.apache.cayenne.conf.DataViewConfiguration' instead of 'org.apache.cayenne.conf.Configuration'
to load the DataViews. 

DOCUMENTATION

DataViews documentation is maintained in a separate Wiki space:

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

A number of users found DataViews technology useful in their Swing apps. If you are 
one of them and want this technology to evolve further, you are welcome to volunteer.
Just drop a note to "dev at cayenne dot apache dot org" to introduce yourself and your
ideas.

BUILDING DATAVIEWS

* You will need Maven (http://maven.apache.org/)
* Change to the DataViews checkout folder and run this command:

  % mvn clean install

  This installs DataView runtime jar (dataview-x.x.jar) to the local repository.
  Also this builds a cross-platform runnable DVModeler jar file (DVModeler.jar) under
  'dvmodeler/target/modeler'.
