Hello Mark!
I think you should point out that this is a Java generation question.
Because we completely separate implementations for each language this kind
of thing might work differently for C++, C#., PHP and SQL.
For Java, ideally the generation would create different code depending on
the multiplicity and you would want to control the array/vector/list-type
used when realizing links with multiplicity bigger than 1. I think it is
now fixed to a Vector that is probably not a good choice in most cases
since generics were introduced as you point out.
When I test to set the association end to visibility private I notice that
it changes to private. Please check this again!
I am not sure where it would be natural to have a Map generated. I guess it
would be for association classes or associations with three or more ends
but I don't think that is supported in the code generation.
As a developer of ArgoUML you are most welcome to make the improvements you
suggest here. It is a much-needed addition.
