Description Camille Letavernier CLA 2015-12-03 06:53:41 EST 
Papyrus Diagrams should support customizable edge decorations. The decorations should be available on all connector ends (Also for N-ary connectors), and also on the edge (Such as InformationItem/Flow representation, see UML 2.5 Fig 20.5, 20.6)

Here are some examples of what should be supported:

- Multiple decorators for a single connector end: Navigable/Owned By Association ends (Arrow + Dot)
- Support N-ary connections (Dependencies, Associations): Need to be able to identify each end separately (With both the Notation model & the associated CSS Selectors)
- Support oriented decorators in the middle of a connector, or near one of the ends (InformationItem/Flow, Fig 20.5 and 20.6)
- Support decorators parallel to the edge (But not on top of it), such as Messages in the Communication Diagram (These ones are a little bit specific so maybe it's not so easy to provide something fully generic). See Figure 17.26

The set of connector end decorations should include at least the full set required for UML (Including Diamonds, Dots, Various kinds of arrows, ...)

Specific notations for Activity Diagram Edges could also be investigated (e.g. 15.6, 15.62, 15.63, 16.19) Fig. 15.6 might be a little bit out of scope (It isn't just about decorators)
