[Uml-devel] Association merge patch

[Brian Thomas]

	Ok, I have done some merging of Oliver's patch with my own(attached as gziped patch file). 
	Now his UMLAssociation class has attributes of "Name", "Changeability[ab]" and "visibility[ab]". 
	The patch is not quite complete, Im afraid. Basically the XMI attribute UML:Association is out of sync
	with the information in UML:AssociationWidget. Basically, we can solve this issue nicely
	by syncing up associationwidgetdata class with UMLAssociation. 

	I propose that associationwidgetdata class aggregate a UMLAssociation. Also, methods which
	call for attributes, ex. RoleName A, simply point to container object attributes. This means that
	
	associationwidget.getRoleA() is simply a wrapper for the call:

	associationwidget.getData().getUMLAssociation.getRoleNameA()

	and so on. This will greatly help the obfusticated state of the code in the associationwidget
	and associationwidgetdata classes. I am willing to do this work if people on the list agree
	they like that proposal. 

	Comments?
