Issue 12285: UML Super 2.1.2: section 18.3.2 (uml2-rtf)
Source: The MathWorks (Mr. Alan Moore, alan.moore(at)mathworks.co.uk)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: In the semantics section the spec says



“When the extension is required, then the cardinality on the extension stereotype is “1.” The role names are provided using the following rule: The name of the role of the extended metaclass is: ‘base_’ extendedMetaclassName The name of the role of the extension stereotype is: ‘extension$_’ stereotypeName.”

 

I have two issues with this. This first is that in all example that follows – the extension role names don’t have a dollar in them and so are inconsistent with the spec.

 

Secondly, I think this should say that these are the default names if the modeller doesn’t provide any. In fact later on in the Presentation Options section of 18.3.8, the spec says:

 

“If the extension end is given a name, this name can be used in lieu of the stereotype name within the pair of guillemets when the stereotype is applied to a model element.”
