[news.eclipse.modeling.mdt.uml2] Re: Creating Stereotype extending Assoc

["Kenn Hussey" <Kenn.Hussey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Vlad,

Your article mentions that there's no way to tell whether a property is 
being used as an association end, but in fact there is - a property which 
has a value for Property::association is effectively an assocation end. 
Using a keyword or stereotype to indicate this seems wasteful, especially 
given that an application based on UML2 can offer built-in ways to indicate 
this information without adding redundant semantic information.
