I tried to figure out the relationship between UML2 API and
the UML metamodel (UML2.2 Feb. 2009). In the metamodel, Figure
7.18 shows the two associations among Classifier, Generalization and GeneralizationSet. When I check UML2 API, I find all all get methods
for each association end/property. But I only find one set method
in GeneralizationSet which allows to set powertype. It makes sense since
the asso. between Classifier and GeneralizationSet is bidirectional.
So, the set method takes care of the set of the other association
end to Classifier. Is that right? But, either Generalization nor GeneralizationSet
provides a set method. So, how a get method returns the appropriate
information? I get confused about this. Thanks

Hi

generalizations have a many multiplicity so you do
getGeneralizations().add/remove/...
