Hello,
I'm rather new to OCL.
I would like to create a UML profile as a DSL. This of course includes
constraints to ensure integrity of model instances. E.g. I want to
define "A class with stereotype A may not hold an association to a class
with stereotype B."
1) Can I attach such a constraint to the stereotype using the tree editor?
2) Does the graphical UML editor from UMLTools automatically prevent me
e.g. to draw an association from a <<A>> class to a <<B>> class?
Thanks for your help,
Stefan

Hi, Stefan,
Yes, the "Create Child" menu in the UML editor should have an
"Owned Rule -> Constraint" action to create a new constraint. You would
then create an OpaqueExpression in the specification property of this
constraint, set its language attribute to OCL and put your OCL expression
in the body.
I don't know the extent to which the UML2Tools editors discover and enforce
constraints. I expect that it does not discover link constraints of this
kind from profiles etc. However, you would be best to ask on the
org.eclipse.mdt.uml2tools newsgroup about that; there may be capabilities
in those tools that I don't know about.
HTH,
Christian
