Re: Re: best practice to build profile for argouml 0.28

Hi Jens,

stereotypes can be restricted to be applicable to classes, tagged values based on some tag definition not. I'd suggest to organize the tag definitions by assigning them all to a smaller set of stereotypes. Then, such tag definitions are only available in the tagged values tab if the respective stereotype is assigned.

This is to be used for your example 1 and 2. For your second example, the solution is easy: open the XMI in ArgoUML as project, select the tool_instance_name tag definition and change the owner to the tool stereotype in the property panel. I've done that and send you the modified profile, please find it attached.

I know of no other way then using the stereotypes mechanism, also I don't know if OCL can offer more here.
