OOM Package Properties

Packages have properties displayed on property sheets. All packages share the following common properties:

Property

Description

Name/Code/Comment

Identify the object. The name should clearly convey the object's purpose to non-technical users, while the code, which is used for generating code or scripts, may be abbreviated, and should not normally include spaces. You can optionally add a comment to provide more detailed information about the object. By default the code is generated from the name by applying the naming conventions specified in the model options. To decouple name-code synchronization, click to release the = button to the right of the Code field.

Stereotype

Sub-classification derived from an existing package. The following stereotypes are available by default:

  • <<archive>> Jar or War archive (Java only)

  • <<assembly>> – Specifies that a package produces a portable executable (PE), (C# and VB.NET only)

  • <<CORBAModule>> – UML Package identified as IDL module (IDL-CORBA only)

  • <<facade>> – Package is a view of another package

  • <<framework>> – Package consists mostly of patterns

  • <<metamodel>> – Package is an abstraction of another package

  • <<model>> – Specifies a semantically closed abstraction of a system

  • <<stub>> – Package serves as a proxy for the public contents of another package

  • <<subsystem>> – Grouping of elements, some of which constitute a specification of the behavior offered by the other contained elements

  • <<system>> – Package represents the entire system being modeled

  • <<systemModel>> – Package that contains other packages with the same physical system. It also contains all relationships and constraints between model elements contained in different models

  • <<topLevel>> – Indicates the top-most package in a containment hierarchy

Default diagram

Diagram displayed by default when opening the package

Use parent namespace

Defines the package as being the area in which the name of an object must be unique in order to be used

Keywords

Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas.
