Hi all,
What is the meaning of FAMIXType ?
I know its subclass is FAMIXClass, but why don't we merge them ?
In FAMIXMethod, the variable parentClass has been changed in parentType.
I think this is less clear.
The problem is that I don't see what is FAMIXType :)
Thanks for your help.
Cheers

Hi Jannik,
Indeed if we look only at the picture, it does not make much sense not
to combine the two.
But, FAMIX is not just a simple meta-model, but it is the core that is
supposed to be extended. For example, for Pharo we will also have
FAMIXTrait, and this will be subclass of FAMIXType. Or in Java, we
will have FAMIXInterface that is subclass of FAMIXType.
That is why we need both :).
Cheers,
Doru

For me, the difference comes from the instantiation part: classes have
a type and can be instantiated, whereas types can not be instantianted
(at least in mainstream OO languages). FAMIXType can represent pure
abstract classes like Java interfaces.
However, with respect to this I feel uncomfortable with
FAMIXType>>attributes
Renaming parentClass -> parentType is for unambiguity purpose (since
parentClass points to a FAMIXType anyway)
PS: I see that Doru was faster

Can this FAMIXType be used to model a type in Java?
Since a Java class is not a Java type, they may hardly be represented
by the same class.
