Hi Anjo
I downloaded again your eomodelgraffle.jar app and tried to get it work, but I just get in the terminal an error message: -bash: /Applications/eomodelgraffle.jar: Permission denied when executing. Although I have read/write permissions. chmod 777 didn't help either.
I thought may be under this link are some more infos how to deal with your app, but it doesn't work any more: http://bla/cgi-bin/WebObjects/myapp.woa/wa/GraphVizSomeSetting
Did you (or someone else) do some more experiments with this?
Thanks, Robert

And you could define a view that moves the names of the relationships to the arrows, thus reducing the size of the boxes, or add a flag to not show the attributes, only the relationships. But yeah, it's cool - and very flexible and totally no-work. No shoving around boxes... good ROI so far :)

There is a heuristic in the D2JS thingy which defines "entity groups", i.e. subsets of entities that "belong" together (possibly by removing lookup entities and ordering by number of inbound/outbound relationships) which *might* be of help to make this mess a bit cleaner.
