Hi Jan,
Any help is surely welcome! Please do!
IMHO, this would not require a plugin, since it is only an extra diagram
notation setting - very similar to the others at
File->Properties->Notations. Once you get started, ask me to give some
detailed advice (I added many of these settings).
The best way to do this: please create an enhancement issue, explain your
intentions in it, propose (or ask help for finding) a way to solve this in
the issue, and in the end attach your solution to it.
One of the "dev"s (like me) will then try it out and commit it to trunk.
Regards,
Michiel

Subject: [argouml-users] Re: Hide association names in diagram
Thanks for your in depth answer. Actually I use ArgoUML to model database
tables. It is quite good, but I have many associations. I have to name
them, but I don't want to see the text labels in diagram.
I am a Java developer, in my spare time I may add this feature to Argo. Is
it possible to implement it as plugin? Is there a need for such
funcionality in ArgoUML core?

Hi Jan,
Indeed, there is no way to hide the association names.
Usually, if you name them, you want them to be seen (otherwise you would
not give them a name). But since you ask this question, I suspect you
used the Java code import function, which automatically assigns names.
Maybe we need a setting in the Import Sources dialog to leave association
names blank.
This is a known issue in ArgoUML's issue database, see:
http://argouml.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3227
About Generalizations: The standard says:
"A generalization path may have a text label called a discriminator that
is the name of a partition of the children of the parent.
The child is declared to be in the given partition. The absence of a
discriminator label indicates the "empty string" discriminator which is a
valid value (the "default" discriminator). "
Hence, showing a name would only cause it to be confused with the
discriminator.

Michiel

Subject: [argouml-users] Hide association names in diagram
Hi,
that for your support to Argo. Is there a possibility to hide
association name in class diagram? I have many associations and the
diagram is unreadable. Generalization names are hidden (and there is no
option to show them). This is mandated by UML standard?
Thanks, Jan
