Hi all,
i'm using the UML2 genmodel to enhance EMF with UML2-specific
capabilities. I've found 2 properties, i really can't explain to myself,
namely 'Key' and 'Pluralization Exception'. What are the purposes for
these fields?
Thanks a lot
Timothy

The 'Key' attribute affects the createXXX() methods.
For example, in a TemplateableElement, we set TemplateSignature as a "key"
property. If you have a look at
TemplateableElement.createTemplateBinding() it takes as a parameter a
TemplateSignature.
All features that are required to uniquely create elements should be marked
as "key" features.
Cheers,
- James.

For a property foo with upper bound > 1, the default accessor method
will be:
EList getFoos()
But if you set pluralizationException to be true, the generated accessor
will be EList getFoo().
The key thing I don't know what is for.
HTH,
Rafael
