Message stereotypes
« on: May 28, 2008, 11:54:30 pm »
Hi, I am using the Corporate version of EA. The Message stereotypes seems to be inherited from the Object base class. If I look at the Stereotypes menu I notice the stereotypes defined for type "Message" aren't even in the dropdown list for the message properties stereotypes, but those that are defined for the object group are in the dropdown.

Question is: I want to define custom stereotypes for Message, and remove the redundant types already defined, without affecting the object stereotypes that Message stereotypes seem to inherit from.
Can this be done, and how?      :)

I think there's a bug here. Try this exercise...

Open the Properties dialog for a message, type "fdsfdsfds" into the Stereotype field, press OK then go to "Settings > UML" and you will find that the stereotype fdsfdsfds has been created for base class "sequence". Now drop a Lifeline element from the Interaction toolbox, open its Properties dialog, type "jkljkljkl" into the Stereotype field, press OK then go to "Settings > UML" and you will find that the stereotype jkljkljkl has also been created for base class "sequence". I suspect that one of those sequences isn't.

Can you report this as a bug please, then someone will be able to investigate.

Thanks.
