Cannot hide metaclass executionEnvironment for Technology Component in diagram

[claudiof]

Hi,

I'm using a Technology Component with Metaclass "executionEnvironment" in a diagram and would like to hide the metclass title "executionEnvironment". It appears on the same position as the stereotype. I can hide the stereotype in the Properties, but not the metaclass. How can this be done?

Best regards
Claudio

I guess you can't. There are a few more of these (can't recall exactly which, but my memory tells me there are some). You could use your own stereotype with slightly different spelling.

Ok. Thanks for the advice. I found another object "Node" that I could use instead. Not sure where it comes from though...

Node and ExecutionEnviornment are two different metatypes. Unfortunately some metatypes are represented the same way as a stereotyped element (IIRC enumeration is another example). I regard this as flaw in UML. However, nobody can hinder you from using <<executionEnvironment>> as stereotype together with a Node (which appear to have the same icon in the browser).
