RE: (ROSE) Why only one stereotype per element

[Brian G. Lyons]

hiho,   That is a very interesting remark.  I understood that part of the UML 1.4 was to refine the extension mechanisms, but I hadn't noticed this particular issue.   <checking...> Yep, you are right.  The proposed UML 1.4 has multiple stereotypes per modeling element.   I'm not certain I understand the past-tense "went away".  Am I wrong in asserting that UML 1.4 has not yet been adopted?                 ------- b -- Brian G.

If you want to do so, you can have a look at the REI section of the Rose help.   Regards, Francois. ----- Original Message ----- From: Alex Goeman To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 09, 2001 10:15 Subject: (ROSE) Why only one stereotype per element Why can there be only one stereotype assigned to a model element ? Is this a design restriction from the rational software ? I though that multiple stereotypes were possible using UML so what is the motivation for restricting it.     Greetings, Alex Goeman
