Hiding unnecessary stereotypes in a profile

[deefer]

Hi
I'd like to create a profile where there is a hierachy of stereotypes, like this

metaclass class
^
|(extends)
|
helper
^
|(generalization)
|
stereotype1 - stereotype 2 and so on

I want that only the stereotype1 stereotype2 and so on appear when I import the profile, the helper stereotype  should be hidden.

Do you have suggestions?
Many thanx
Davide

Hi Davide,

You've already tested that configuration and it works OK?

If so, then it turns out that the profile emitted merely depends upon the content of the diagram NOT the model.  So, if you remove the helper stereotype from the diagram it should still all work, but not be emitted.

If it doesn't then you can add an implicit «extends» between the bottom level and the metaclass.

HTH,
Paolo

Thanx Paolo

I export the whole package as UML profile, and then I import it into the model.

If I delete the helper stereotype from the diagram and then I export the diagram as UML profile, it doesn't work (I don't see stereotype 1, 2 and so on)...

I'm trying to work out the problem by creating a toolbox for the profile and export everything into an MDG technology...

Did you make the helper class abstract?

Frank, thanx a lot!!!
That's what I was looking for...

Anyway, I've learned how to create toolboxes and custom diagrams... not bad  

Ciao
Davide
