Hi,
I was playing around with the "Show\Hide related link" and experienced some strange behaviour wich had me look into the implementation. I wonder why the determination of the links to be shown in the dialog depends on their containment within packaged elements.
In
org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.diagram.clazz.part.UMLDiagramUpdater.getOutgoingLinks
which is for example finally called in order to determine potential outgoing links of a class, you see that in the following method:
org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.diagram.clazz.part.UMLDiagramUpdater.getOutgoingTypeModelFacetLinks_AssociationClass_Edge(Type)
The package container of the class under inspection is derived and only links contained in that package are taken into account. Is there a fundamental reason for that? We have a quite complex technical model (SysML) and are playing with programatical separation of different model elements into different packages, which at the end results in a package structuring that makes this filter more or less useless. We definetly cannot put all elements of our model in one package to make this filter work.
I would very much appreciate if somebody could give some insight into the idea of this approach.
Thanks in advance
Thorsten
