Re: Remove "cayenne-modeler-maven-plugin" in 5.0?

Hi Henrique,

Thanks for the feedback. I had thought the main use case would be folks =
who want to stay within the Maven toolset. I am still inclined to go =
ahead with CAY-2925 for the support footprint reasons that I mentioned, =
and hope that Maven-centric teams won't have much trouble switching.

BTW, if I remember correctly, Maven starts a generic cross-platform =
Modeler. Unless you are on Linux, a native version for Mac or Windows =
should provide a noticeably better UX. This is also a selling point :)
