Inline editing of a operations in the classdiagram [message #476503]

Hi,

I just tried the UML2 tools version for Eclipse 3.5 and if I modify the
name of a operation in a class diagram directly in the diagram this
change is lost. If I do this in properties view it is working.

Shall I open a bug for this?

Best regards, Lars

Hello Lars,

In accordance with UML specification name of an operation should be followed
by round brackets. So, round brackets should always be typed after a name.
It's not so obvios though.
Does the name change after you type in inplace editor something like this
-- 'foo()' ?

Best wishes,
Tanya.

Hi Tatiana,

thank you for the reply. It works correctly if I use foo().

I believe the confusing part is that the properties editor does not use
foo() but only foo.

I added commend to: http://www.vogella.de/articles/UML/article.html
to explain the behavior.

Best regards, Lars

Hi Lars,

Yes, I agree. It could look confusing, because label shown on the diagram
is composed from values of several properties, while property sheets allow
to edit a single value only.
I think mentioning it in your article will help the users to avoid such confusion.

Thanks,
Tanya.
