Nope, its more of a facade pattern in the respect that only the methods that we expose through the metafacade are exposed (although it is a one-to-one mapping between a metafacade a meta model element). When it was metadecorators we were exposing the meta model methods in addition to the additional methods defined in the give metadecorator.

The main reason we decided to go with facades as opposed to decorators is the fact that we wanted to be able to support multiple meta models; with the metadecorators our decorators were tied too much to the UML 1.4 meta model. With the metafacades we are hoping to be able to support more than one meta model (i.e. UML 1.3 or UML 2.0, etc.) with one set of UML metafacades. > > "Chad Brandon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > >The metafacades replace the metadecorators, the decorators is what we > >started with. > > It is very nice that you are doing it maven based, it is a very good > combination.
