Please note
that in FAMIX 2, the property FAMIX.Access.accesses can
refer
not only to structural entities (ie attributes, variables and globals)
but
alas also to classes or namespaces! Yet another Smalltalk oddity :)
Why oddity?
In java you cannot have a field pointing to a class?
As classes and namespaces are not real objects, you can not access them. You
can store some reflection object describing a class in a field, but that
would then just be a boring write access to a boring field, no cool oddness
happening :)
This will
change in FAMIX 3.0, accesses to classes or namespaces
will be
modeled with a new FAMIX.Reference entity. And FAMIX.Access.accesses
restricted to structural entities only.
will you change the name because I always hated this accesses for non
collection.
Yes, will change! the naming will be more consistent.
cheers,
