With DSL customization, you can modify a model element to act according to your needs depending on the stereotype you apply.
Default values
Tags have default values. Use the default values when you create the tag, making sure its definition has multiplicity greater than zero. In this case it is automatically created when applying a stereotype.
Stereotypes on relationship ends
At times, DSL requires applying stereotypes to some elements after DSL relationship connection to those elements.
Use the following properties for this purpose:
Property | Description |
---|---|
Apply to Source | Specifies stereotypes that must be applied to the source element of this relationship after connection. |
Apply to Target | Specifies stereotypes that must be applied to the target element of this relationship after connection. |

“Source” and “Target” are respectively the “source” and “target” of a directed relationship. The first connected element acts as a“source” for a non-directed relationship. Example:

Required Generalization or Interface Realization
Sometimes DSL requires elements to be subtypes of a general abstract class or interface. Use the Super Types property for this purpose. The Super Types property specifies types to be super types of the DSL element. The Generalization or InterfaceRealization (if using an interface) will be created in the model after applying the customized stereotype.

The following is an example of customization. Every JAVA class will be a subclass of the Object class. In other words, every Class marked with the «JAVAClass» stereotype is inherited from the Object.
