The following are frequently asked questions and answers for Pattern Add-In.

 


 

1.Does Pattern Add-In only have 23 GoF design patterns and 3 EJB patterns?

 

Pattern Add-In contains definitions of 23 GoF design patterns and 3 EJB patterns. The user may also define and use new patterns. For procedures for defining new patterns, see the StarUML(tm) technical documentation.

 

 

2.Only one parameter value is generated in the view even though I entered two or more parameter values in the Pattern Parameters dialog.

 

There can be one or more parameter values depending on the pattern being applied. If more than one value is entered, the view is generated with the last parameter name and value only. However, it can be verified through the model information that all the elements of the parameter values are generated. Drag the parameter values from the model element to the view as needed.

 

 

3.The [Tools]->[Apply Pattern ...] menu cannot be run.

 

See the section on Pattern Add-In configurations. Class, Use Case, Component, or Deployment diagram must be activated in order to apply patterns to the tool.
