Trying to figure out how to support Association Classes using GMF. I need to produce diagrams along the lines below:
|--------| |--------|
| Class1 |-------------| Class2 |
|--------| | |--------|
|
|-------|-----------|
| Association Class |
|-------------------|
I can create the classes fine (`Node` Figures), and similarly simple associations. However: I'm not sure how to handle the Association Class. I think I want:
- A `Connection` to represent the main Association (solid line)
- A `Connection Anchor` on the mid-point of the Association Connection
- Another `Connection` joining the Association Class to the mid point `Connection Anchor`
I don't want to use a `Node` in the middle of the Association since that will create an unwanted bend point.
So specific questions:
1. Is the approach above reasonable/sensible?
2. Is there a better way to do it?
3. Any pointers to existing implementations? This must have been solved for each of the many GEF/GMF-based UML editors but some protracted googling hasn't surfaced anything.
Thanks.
