Hi everybody,
The documentation Javadoc of OCL is sometimes fuzzy. Example :
Quote:If the meaning of the 'Property Start [End] Position' attribute isn't clear, there really should be more of a description here...
Does anybody know more about the start/end positions ?
I'm also looking for a set of constraints (with the corresponding metamodel) that covers - at best - the potential calls of the org.eclipse.ocl.utilities.AbstractVisitor<T, C, O, P, EL, PM, S, COA, SSA, CT>.
Is there any bench available for testing ?
Thanks you, et bonne journée !
Edouard

Quote:If you are really determined to pursue work with the classic/mature/obsolete code base you will have to learn to search the code yourself. Search for callers of set/getPropertyStart. There is also documentation to read.
I found the code, and the setter/getter, and the documentation. This is exactly what brought me here to ask the question I ask.
Not to mention that the "If the meaning of the 'XXX' attribute isn't clear, there really should be more of a description here..." appears in many other places in the documentation. There really should be more of a description - authors admit.
I know there's a lack of consideration of artefact documentation. I know there's no funding to invest in it or to hire competent documentalists (this is a much broader topic).
Even though, there is no reason for such patriarchist formulation.
Thanks for your help, I'll be back soon.
Edouard
PS : attached is a reminder of the work to be done in the field I'm pointing out :
"The Problems with Eclipse Modeling Tools: A Topic Analysis of Eclipse Forums" by Kahani et al. published in Models2016 conference's proceedings.
