Adding visible stereotype to Realization

[0xCAFEBABE]

Hello. In a component diagram, can't I add a visible Stereotype to a Realization from a (Packaging)Component to another Component?

I want to make it visible what exactly gets implemented by another Component.

Do I really have to use a different relationship than a Realization? Would an "Assembly" be most fitting as the replacement in this case?

I just create a Realize from a packaging component to a component (though that does not seem to be UML compliant) and added a stereotype which was showing with no issue.

Seems valid to me. UML has a dedicated type ComponentRealization for this scenario. EA only provides a single realization connector and works out the difference when exporting to XMI.

My above assumption was only based on he fact that EA does not offer such a relation as per default from the QL. I have not cross checked with Superstructures. However, it is independent of the OP's basic issue.

Hi. What about realizations of other UML-elements, i.e. classes or packages?

I can make a Dependency, an Association, a Generalization and they all show a <<stereotype>>, just not Realization? Can I enable it somewhere? I cannot confirm what qwerty says; I see nothing under the arrow of any created Realization with specified stereotype.

I see nothing under the arrow of any created Realization with specified stereotype.

Check the diagram properties/Connectors/last checkbox.

It is checked. I can see all the other stereotypes in the diagram; for dependency, association, generalization. Just not for realization.

Which version do you use?

Which version do you use?

q.

Program version 10.0.1005
Database version 4.01
Registered EA Corporate Edition

So there's the reason. V10 does not show it. V9.3 and V11 do. Time for up- or downgrade
