Sure, it would be more elegant to call the Cayenne API directly rather than through ant.

I added some instructions to the plugin to show how it might be called. I think several things are needed to make this really nice:

1. call the Cayenne API directly without ant
2. clean the whole thing up (it was written in 2012) to ensure it maps to modern gradle practices
3. publish it to the gradle plugin repo
4. add any more features people might want
5. Remove the dependency on a specific version of Cayenne and allow the user to define that in their gradle build somewhere
