Description bugbridge 2006-07-24 11:25:50 UTC 
Description:

Steps :
1. Reverse engineer the attached java class.

Issues :
1. The model tree node for the method " boolean sameAvg(Stats<?> ob)" 
   displays the method signature as  "package boolean sameAvg(Stats ob)".
2. Drag and drop the "Stats" class into a class diagram.
   The method in the methods compartment does not show wildcard argument

Will be fixed when new parser strategy is implemented.
Comment 3 George Vasick 2007-05-18 19:16:04 UTC 
Needs to be verified in NB 6.0.
Comment 4 Viktor Lapitski 2007-07-13 22:47:55 UTC 
a bit better now - it is REd into Stats<>
Comment 5 Trey Spiva 2007-10-08 19:59:20 UTC 
UML does not have a way to represent the wildcard notation.
Comment 6 Trey Spiva 2007-10-08 20:10:10 UTC 
In order to support this issue we would have to enhance the UML metamodel.  We will either have to create a special TemplateParameterSubstitution, or a 
special classifier.

If we decided to extend the metamodel, we will then have to worry about how to handle XMI import/export.
