UML15 — Remove Package Templates? Feedback requested

Open Closed All
  • Key: UML15-3
  • Legacy Issue Number: 7577
  • Status: closed

  • Summary:

    Package templates were a nice idea but they were never properly implemented in the UML 2 spec. At the moment, what is in the spec is incorrect and completely different from what is in the metamodel (I am not sure how that came about – maybe Birger recalls). Neither version is complete or correct.

    The concept is a nice one to have, however, at this stage I am thinking of removing it altogether and leaving it as a new feature to be added in a future version.

    Does anyone have strong objections to the removal of this concept?

    (Reminder: package templates were the mechanism that depended on string substitution for instantiation.)
