    1. I've never used Eclipse with multiple windows before ... I'm not
    particularly surprised that weird things happen, though. Fixing this
    would be a low priority for me. I can take a look to see if it's
    something obvious, but if it's not, I can see it being really
    annoying to get it behaving properly. If this is a common working
    style, let me know, though. Certainly if someone else wants to look
    into this and submit a patch, I'll be happy to review/commit it.

    2. Reverse engineering is not yet in. I having the beginnings of it
    in my local version, but the UI isn't finished yet. There will be a
    new "New EOModel Wizard" that has multiple pages, one of which is a
    reverse engineer checkbox that lets you fill in the EODatabaseConfig
    settings and it will work similar to how EOModeler works. For now,
    you can use EOModeler to create the initial model and then load it
    into Entity Modeler as a workaround.

    3. Not sure exactly what the questions is, but yes, there is a Mac
    Goodies plugin, not just from stable, but in all the releases. This
    provides "Reveal in Finder" and "Open in Terminal" to the Mac Goodies
    right-click menu on resources.
