Issue 18969: Relax Association::/endType from [1..*] to [0..*] (uml2-rtf)
Source: NASA (Dr. Nicolas F. Rouquette, nicolas.f.rouquette(at)jpl.nasa.gov)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: An association could be defined with untyped association ends.


UML2.5 currently prevents defining such associations.
If it becomes well-formed in 2.6, this capability will be useful for the Precise Semantics of Composite Structures, particularly for untyped connectors.

This is an issue for UML 2.6 RTF.


An association could be defined with untyped association ends.


UML2.5 currently prevents defining such associations.
If it becomes well-formed in 2.6, this capability will be useful for the Precise Semantics of Composite Structures, particularly for untyped connectors.
