[news.eclipse.tools.uml2] NULL values on stereotype properties

[Andreas Maier <maiera@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Kenn,
I forgot about complex types. Sorry for that.

The case I actually need is user defined PrimitiveTypes (which are not 
supported as stereotype properties). My current circumvention to that is 
to use the UML built-in PrimitiveTypes, which don't support NULL. Sigh...

I'll open a requirement for NULL.
