EA beta impressions

[SF_lt]

just continue thread on EA beta impressions and now it's time for the EA beta 2:

feature visibility is nice - it's possible to set custom attribute/method/property visibilities. Stereotype thing is still unclear for me: is it intentionaly only first class stereotype is displayed (if several of them are set)? Attribute shows all it's stereotypes - not only first as class - is this feature or bug? Paolo's TM  

Realizations and dependencies now have source and target role windows - this shouldn't be I guess. And it's possible to set realization or dependencies source/target features - roles/multiplicities are even shown in dependency case (constraints and qualifiers aren't) . That's non UML compliant.

There is missing help info for virtual inheritance (generalization property)

Please consider renaming this thread to make it obvious that it is for Version 6.5 Beta 2.

Sparxians,
The headers on the Custom Feature management seem to to be reversed (headers for Operations appear for Attributes and vice versa)...

Also, since there is NO mechanism for the custom suppression of inherited features, if a feature is suppressed in the ancestor, it MUST be suppressed in the descendants.  Otherwise you end up with very weird looking diagrams, wondering "how the did this feature get here?"

Just noticed that self-reference can now be changed in size

That really looks cool when you change the line type to Bezier.

Just got word that the notation form for transitions in Protocol state machines (as defined in the UML 2 spec.) is not yet supported.
