Hi Simon,
A long time ago, we decided that isStub should reflect exactly the intention of an
analyst of including that entity or not.
So, the interpretation would be that if we choose to import an explicit package A, then
all packages that extend the classes from A should be stub packages. If we choose the
classes in A then all the packages that extend these classes will not be stub.
Not sure I get the rationale for the second case. - isStub
indicates that the entity is imported through reference by another entity, and not
explicitely chosen by the analyst as you say
- isComplete should indicate that all properties in this entity are not imported (for
example, a class can be a non-stub yet not complete if we choose not to import method
body)
- isStub => not isComplete
I do not like the implication of isComplete, because a model will not be complete unless
it contains all details of the subject. Anyway, in the case of packages and given the
current importer, we are always in the first case : we explicitly chose packages to
import. All other packages should be stub.
Yes.

If more semantics are wanted, we could have other properties, like isDerivedAsStub (bad
name :)).
Maybe an idea would be to add an option in the importing context to allow us to specify
what kind of strategy we would want for isStub.
Cheers,
Doru

https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/moose-dev Hi there
I would like your opinion on Issue 287: allModelPackages does not retrieve pure extension
packages
One proposed solution is to set the isStub flag on package/namespace imported because of
stub classes (i.e., not specifically requested by the user).
For now, this is a smalltalk specific problem. However, it would be good if the semantic
is clearly agreed between the importers.
