Title: Links with multiple contraints
Post by: sargasso on August 10, 2006, 10:55:59 pm

Suggest :  If multiple stereotypes can now be seen on links, can we also have multiple constraints listed as well  - like how the superstructure shows them!

e.g.  {constraint1, constraint2, ...}

e.g. {<<pre-condition>>constraint1, <<post-condition>>constraint2>>  ::)

To expound (as we did on the 14Feb1966 -- hee hee -- work that out non-Aussies!) :

Argument - I´m on the case for multiple display

* (Pro) Constraints on links seem to be becoming more important as UML matures (At least IMO)
* (Pro) Constraints, individually, seem to need to be manipulable individually.
* (Pro) EA gives, currently, some support to model the entire set of constraints on a link ... but it requires a lot of manual hacking to summate them to make them visible in the diagram.
* (Con) Modellers could create a ****load of cranky diagrams if there are ¨too many¨ constraints.  Counter = This is an exception for the modeller to worry about.
* (Con) Constraints on liks are curently compounded with other link characteristics when shown as a link label. Counter = So fix that too.

Sparxians - over to you.
