Title: Toolbox Page: Display stereotyped elements
Post by: g.makulik on January 03, 2013, 02:27:59 am

How can I display stereotyped elements sharing the same stereotype name on a toolbox page?

I have the following profile diagram:

)

As one can see the stereotype <<#ifdef>> is declared multiple times for different metaclass instances.

Now, if I want to refer these stereotypes in a toolbox page profile I have to choose one of them, because it's not possible to create attributes with the same name (#ifdef) for a page:

Is there a feasible way showing these stereotyped elements on one toolbox page, without using different stereotype names?

To me that smells fishy. Same stereotype name with different tags. I'd suspect EA to go crazy with that definition. Can't you use #ifdefA, #ifdefO and #ifdefC?

1. Having three stereotype classes with the same name won't work. Only one will be saved to the profile. Instead, have a single stereotype class that extends all three metaclasses.

2. In the toolbox profile, name the attributes "Ext_C::#ifdef(UML::Attribute)", "Ext_C::#ifdef(UML::Operation)" and "Ext_C::#ifdef(UML::Class)".

Hopefully, having the stereotype name start with a '#' character won't cause you any problems...
