[news.eclipse.modeling.mdt] Re: Problems when geting values from stereot

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

Sorin,

This question is more appropriate for the UML2 newsgroup (copied).

The behavior of the UML2 API is such that you have to specify the concrete 
stereotype that is applied when asking for the value of a tag. If you want 
to obtain the tagged values for multiple (sub)stereotypes, you have to write 
custom client code to iterate over the list of applied substereotypes, which 
can be obtained via the Element#getAppliedSubstereotypes(Stereotype) method, 
and retrieve the property value for each one.
