  • Status: closed  
  • Source: France Telecom R&D ( Mariano Belaunde)

    Make optional the qualification of enumeration values.

  • Disposition: Resolved — OCL 2.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    This seems like a harmless simplification (using OCL's single quotes rather than a Java-like double quotes), but creating a confusion between Strings and EnumerationLiterals may cause confusion when selecting operation overloads.
    Disposition: Closed, no change
