Hi Luciana,

From the first part of your question, it seems that you have a stereotype
that is typed by another stereotype ... that's good.
What I'm puzzled about is the last sentence "How must I add the classes in
my metamodel?". What do you mean by "the classes"? Do you want to
know how to programatically set the value of the property (that is typed by
the stereotype)? What "metamodel" are you referring to?

I would need more information to answer this.

Perhaps a good starting point would be this article :
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/uml2/docs/articles/Intro duction_to_UML2_Profiles/article.html

Hi James,
about the last sentency I wanted to say as I add the metaclasses which
represent the stereotype in UML Metamodel and particulary how set (in the
graphical interface "sample ecore model editor") the value of the property
typed by other stereotype.
I don't succeed in understanding the mechanism, however I see the article
that you have recommended me.
I want to also ask you another thing: is it possible to extend one
metaclass whit two different stereotype? If it's possible, when (in the
model) I instance the class which stereotype I must use?
Thank you very much
Luciana.

Hi Luciana,

If the Stereotype that you wish to set as the type of the property in
question is in the same profile, then you should see it as an option when
you try to set the type from the editor.

Currently, setting the type to a stereotype in a separate profile is not
supported.

And, yes, you can apply any number of stereotypes to an element ( discussed
in section 18 of the UML superstructure spec ).

Regards,
- James
