Well, in my .uml2 file, associations are siblings of classes or
interfaces. Each association (2 ends) affect 2 class/interface. And I
create one java file for each class/interface.

Then if I parse associations after parsing classes and interfaces, I
don't know how to open the wanted file for each association-end and then
add information inside it (FILE only creates a new file it seems).

So what I did was to parse associations first, store information and
then fetch it when the class/interface computed is part of an
association-end. That way I can add association information in correct
java file.


If you have a better solution I'll be glad to hear it. :)
