[news.eclipse.modeling.mdt.uml2] Re: How to deal with uml model fragment

[Bill Hinge <steve.orobec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tas

I see, I wasn't sure if fragment was a UML2 feature or an RSM feature,
I don't have access to RSM myself as I'm on OS X. The work I'm doing is
developing a DSL based soln as part of some standards work. Having a
common uml format between different tool vendors was a hope. The model
is split into fragments since it quite large but it seems to have issues
occasionally. I appreciate the quick answer, I guess that means I need 
to consider my own workarounds to this problem. Most fragments do in
fact work with uml2tools - just that some have bombs in them!


By the way, is there any way of filtering out various uml2 artefacts
from Project Explorer when I select a uml file, ideally just showing
package, class, attribute? (ie not stereotypes, profiles, documentation 
etc) If I could do thins I could be reasonably happy ;-)



regards
Steve
