Hi Sébastien Thanks for your response.
I can see your decision. But in my opinion it has some draft back that some aspects of a model can not be shown. I did not find a way to draw a diagram in the manner as you can find one in the attachment. The diagram comes from the UML 2.1.1 specification A way to show a class and its composite structure would be very nice. I loved the way of using composite structure diagrams on packages to do so. Another possibility would be to not distinct between class diagrams and composite structure diagrams. That’s how a lot of other tools work. The advantage is to have one diagram only to be able to show compositions on class and package level. The disadvantage is that this does not correspond in all details to the UML specification. But not having composite structure diagrams on packages isn’t really conforming to the specification as well. My remarks should more be constructive inputs or a feature request than criticism. I really like Topcased’s UML Editor. And one of its strength is to really respect the UML specification.

Before, there were two kinds of approaches : from package or from classifier. Finally, we decided to retain only one for maintenance reason.
