Re: Template path strip out home directory,

I can't directly answer your question as I don't use modeler directly for
class generation, but use a build task instead. I recommend using a build
task because you get consistency and you don't have to re-select the
templates over and over. I use *ant* for this, but it can be done with
maven too:

<path id="cgen.classpath">

<fileset dir="lib" includes="cayenne-*.jar" />

<fileset dir="lib" includes="commons-*.jar" />

<fileset dir="lib" includes="velocity-*.jar" />

<fileset dir="lib" includes="log4j-*.jar" />

<fileset dir="lib" includes="slf4j-*.jar" />

</path>


<typedef resource="org/apache/cayenne/tools/antlib.xml">

<classpath refid="cgen.classpath"/>

</typedef>


<target name="generate_java">

<cgen map="src/YourDataMap.map.xml"

superpkg="com.yourpackage.auto"

createpropertynames="true"

supertemplate="${basedir}/cgen/superclass.vm"

template=${basedir}/cgen/subclass.vm"

destDir="src"

outputPattern="*.java"

encoding="UTF-8"

mode="all"

/>

</target>
