Issue 6493: ptc-03-09-15/Constructs::Class superClass property (uml2-rtf) Source: David Frankel Consulting (Mr. David Frankel, david(at)dfrankelconsulting.com) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: Issue: Constructs::Class has a superClass property that redefines general, which is from Constructs::Classifier (section 11.3, figure 73, p. 111); but Constructs::Class also inherits from Basic::Class, which has superClass as a property (section 10.2, 66, p. 97). What does this mean? Is this a bug? Is it something correct having to do with package merge? Recommendation: Determine whether this is intended or an oversight. If it is an oversight, correct it. If not, explain the meaning of having these both of these properties. Resolution: Revised Text: Actions taken: November 7, 2003: received issue February 18, 2005: moved from infrastructure August 23, 2006: closed issue Discussion: This is not a problem, since the rules of package merge unify these two properties as defined in rule 2 of the general transformation rules of package merge (see page 118 of ptc/04-10-02) Disposition: Closed, no change End of Annotations:===== m: "David S.
