Support for CWM format

[drognisep]

Overview of the issue

We use quite a lot of CWM exports to support integration of applications with existing data stores. I love the features that are present in the toolset, but unfortunately a lot of our data stores don't have have foreign key constraints in the physical model, but we enforce them with logical constraints in the application layer. We are able to enforce these constraints effectively with JPA, but the tool doesn't seem to be able to import the logical model in the CWM format.

I believe CWM contains everything you would need to create the JPA mappings like schema and table names, columns, foreign key constraints, primary keys, and even indices.

Given that the logical model is expressed in its entirety with this format, can this be supported for import.

Expected Outcome

Similar to the existing database reverse engineering process, except the source is a CWM file.

New File > Persistence > Class Diagram from CWM
Select cwm file (xml format and extension)

Current Outcome

Currently I can import the physical model, but I have to manually set relationships between tables and entities.
