Lars,

I'm not sure how the OCL constraints produce messages. Christian will
have good ideas. I've included the OCL newsgroup in the "to" list of
the reply...

Hi, Ed, Lars,

Actually, this isn't an MDT OCL question, but an
org.eclipse.emf.validation.ocl question.

Currently, the OCL constraint provider only supports substituting the {0}
message parameter with the label of the problem object.

It would be nice for clients to be able to define, perhaps via the
name/value parameters supported by the IParameterizedConstraintDescriptor,
OCL expressions that compute the string to substitute into a given {n} slot
in the message.

Sounds like a good contribution with which to get to know how the EMF
Validation Framework component works!

:-)
