Hi,

In GMF, an edit pattern (like {0}:{1} ) can be used to set multiple
features of an object. Unfortunately, this is limited to attributes
while references can not be set this way.
Anyway I noticed that the GMF-based UML class diagram editor supports
setting class attributes through the edit pattern {name}:{type}. When I
looked in the according .gmfmap there was not specified an edit pattern.

So I wonder if there is some kind of workaround provided by GMF that the
UML tools developers used for the class diagram editor.

Regards, Stefan

Hello Stefan,

Unfortunately GMF does _not_ support references parsing for Feature Labels
at the moment. We implemented such parsers ourselves. For example, manually-written
PropertyParser is used to parse attribute's labels. It is located in org.eclipse.uml2.diagram.common
plugin. It is returned for attribute labels by UMLParserProvider by using
'generated-NOT' method.

Best wishes,
Tatiana.
