I am a long-time user of Eclipse however I'm a new user of UML2tools. I
would appreciate some help getting me over the following hurdles.
Background
I'm trying to draw a simple class diagram and having considerable
difficulty. (I'm following the basic tutorial documented here:
http://www.vogella.de/articles/UML/article.html)
Hurdle 1
I can create the classes and their attributes/operations. However, when I
try to follow the step "If you select your UML diagram and click on the
outgoing arrow you can create associations", I am not able to associate a
class to another class. When I click the outgoing arrow and hover over
another class, the cursor becomes a "prohibited" symbol (circle with line
through it). Creating connections, i.e. associations, using the arrows
does not work for me.
Hurdle 2
As a workaround, I can use the Palette to create an Navigable Association
between classes. However, I am not able to create a simple one-way,
directed association as described in messages #476574 and #476575.
( http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&S=de1bf5eb c736c32670cb63280e089c76&th=151479&goto=476574#msg_4 76574)
The association does not have preferences for "-Show all arrows and xs.
-Suppress all arrows and xs.
-Show one-way navigibility only"
Please help.

I'm new to both - but used to be competent with Together and Rose.

What version?
I just downloaded the eclipse modelling edition
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technolo gy/epp/downloads/release/galileo/R/eclipse-modeling-galileo- incubation-linux-gtk.tar.gz
It's by no means perfect... but it's very good indeed.
It may be worth installing this as a clean standalone to verify your problem?
Especially since....

....works really well for me.
Having done this I can select the association, change multiplicity etc in the
association preferences (or by clicking on the src tag, pressing f2 and
appending "[0..*]" to the tag - nice.
