Cayenne as an agentic ORM 🙂We are going to have a complete new agentic stack in the upcoming 5.0 milestone: a Claude plugin and an MCP for all the DB-to-model-to-Java syncing for you.

Agentic coding unlocked an unexpected superpower in @ApacheCayenne project. None of us are Swing developers (are there any real ones out there still?) So the GUI ORM Modeler that was quietly rotting suddenly got a second life now that we can pass any visual bug over to AI

We just posted 4.0.3 - a maintenance release of the older Cayenne 4.0. It makes that version of CayenneModeler compatible with Java 17. So if you haven't upgraded to 4.1/4.2 yet, you should still be able to work with your models.

If you are using Java to access a DB, and don't use @ApacheCayenne, you are really missing something. Cayenne and Lucene are two of the best Java libraries I know of; learning them is a great way to learn also their respective domain (DB access & text indexing/search).
