package and ownedMembers [message #476210]

Hi,

I want to create a group. Which means that it's the same as package except
that it does not own the members and that all it's members are components.

In the UML superstructure it says the following:
A package owns its owned members, with the implication that if a package
is removed from a model, so are the elements owned by the package.

Is it possible to assign elements to a package and that it does not own
them, and thus not delete them when the package is deleted? This basically
means that group imports the members, and doesn't own them.

regards

Nick

Nick,

I suppose you could accomplish this by creating a package and importing (via
element imports) all the elements that are part of the "group". Note that
imported elements are considered part of the namespace for a package - they
are imported (not owned) members.
