Profile: redefinition

[Uffe]

Hello all,


One of the QuickLinker's suggested connectors from a stereotype to a metaclass is Redefinition. I can't find any documentation on this in the help file, and it doesn't seem to do anything different from the usual Extend.

My questions are:
1) What does it actually do?
2) Is there a way to achieve an actual redefinition of a metaclass?

Say I want to redefined Component to always include a tagged value just for funsies -- can I do that?

Cheers,

Redefinition is a legacy construct used to include the base type without an actual stereotype in the toolbox. It's no longer necessary because toolboxes are defined separately from the profile.

Ah, OK. Thanks!
