Description

I don't think we have a Jira for that yet...

Per our earlier discussions about the DataViews [1] there are no volunteers to support this technology within Apache Cayenne. This issues outlines the steps to factor out DataViews in a separate module, that at the minimum will be usable for the current DV users, and can serve as a starting point for any future volunteers.

• Create a top-level SVN directory for all things DV:
  http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cayenne/dataviews(trunk/branches/tags)
• Move dataview package from trunk to the new location
• Move DVModeler from STABLE-2.0 branch to the new location
• Create a new not autoexported Confluence space CAYDV
• Move DataViews chapter from the user guide to CAYDV
• Remove DataView compile dependency from org.apache.cayenne.config.Configuration (but leave the view name loading logic)
• Create a separate DataView loader class based on Configuration in the DV project
• make sure everything compiles in DV and Cayenne
