I’m new to VP Version 3.0 professional edition and did my first steps and also the first problems:
When I add a new attribute to a class, I can select its type from a list only containing primitive types like int, char etc. There is a button that probably should open a file dialog for selecting other classes, but it is not active. How can I specify an attribute as a String, for example?
There are checkboxes “Setter”, “Getter” and “Abstract” on the Attribute Specification general page. Why are these checkboxes inactive?
You can select other classes as attributes - it is not limited to primative types. String is a class not a primative type, so to add an attribute as String you need to either type it manually or create a class called String.
The checkboxes "Setter, “Getter” and “Abstract” are for .NET. You cannot abstract attributes in Java or “properties” in Java.
I agree with you that there should be a way to select the class of an attribute from the classpath of the project. I have not figured out how to do it. I am concerned about what will happen when and if I can get code generation working.
In any case, the answer to your second question is to select the “Property” option as the Stereotype.
