EA now has UML 2 Interface Elements. It doesn't yet have UML 2 Enumeration elements.
It would be good (necessary?) to be able to model with the right kind of element. (Not forgetting UML2 EnumerationLiterals also)
Also, I think Sparx should give serious consideration to creating formal Table and View elements for database work. Stereotyped Classes are one thing (an interim solution) but a specific elem tn would be better.
Can we have have these soon? If a choice i required, the formal UML 2 elements before the DB ones.
Thoughts? Votes?

Very much agreed on the Enumeration elements - this is a real necessity, particularly given the time UML 2 has been around.
As far as DB modeling goes, I think we've likely got to wait. OMG is beginning the work to come up with a 'real' profile (not a partially written draft like the one from a few years ago) that addresses this whole area in depth. My guess is that Sparx is tracking that closely, and we're likely to see this around the time it becomes a final adopted spec.

You mean OMG won't come up with Table and View Elements ;)
