Cool, I didn't know that this was available.  Will check it out.  My first 
pass of constraints are written in Java, but I expect the use of constraints 
in .ocl file will be of great interest to others in my project.

btw, I always test plugins like this running in both Eclipse UML2 and in 
Rational RSM/A 7.0 (although the latter would prohibit dependency on OCL 
1.2).
