Yes, I think that if it goes in the Parameter class it will be available to all processes. In fact, I think there are some current hints which are not available using annotations (I am speaking from a quick look at the anottation classes, maybe i am wrong and it is not like that) >> > I wonder if calling this a "relationship" rather than a dependency makes > more sense.

I was thinking about something simpler than that, just adding a value called "group" or somthing like that, with the name of the group of options. If it is null, then the parameter is not a part of anything. The UI should be capable of just grouping parameters with the same non-null group name and behaving accordingly when checking if the parameter values are valid. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
