When I specify the multiplicity between two classes, code gen creates a public untyped Vector in the 
owning class.  Let's say that you have a class like Department.  This class has multiple Employees.

Department <>----- [1..*]Employee

When I name the association to "employeeList", and add some documentation, and look at the source 
for the Department in the Source tab, I see this:

  /** 
   *  A list of employees in the Department.
   * @element-type Employee
   */
   public Vector employeeList

Ideally, I'd like to see 

private List<Employee> employeeList;

If the user wanted the employee list initialized to a concrete class they would be able to do so after code 
generation.  Or this might be a preference that the user would specify.  In that case the results would 
look more like this:

private List<Employee> employeeList = new Vector<Employee>();

or 

private List<Employee> employeeList = new ArrayList<Employee>();

depending on what they'd set the preference to.


Also, ff I select the endpoint within Department, and set the visibility to Private, the code still shows up 
as public.

This issue effects the Class Diagram, Code Gen and the Properties panel.
