Operation Properties
abstract: Set this value as true or false from the drop down list.
alias: Allows you to give an element a name that would not normally be accepted for that element. For example, use the alias property to represent a class name with spaces to make it more readable. Using the alias property does not effect the original name. The Diagram view shows the alias for an element.
final: Set this value as true or false from the drop down list.
input: This field allows you to enter text describing the inputs for an operation.
name: The name of the operation.
native: Set this value as true or false from the drop down list.
output: This field allows you to enter text describing the outputs for an operation.
parameters: Add the parameters for an operation using this field.
post-condition: This field allows you to enter text describing the post-conditions for an operation.
pre-condition: This field allows you to enter text describing the pre-conditions for a method an operation.
return value: Specify the return value of a method. Choose the appropriate return value from the drop down list.
semantics: This field allows you to enter text describing the semantics of an operation.
static: Set this value as true or false from the drop down list.
stereotype: Choose the appropriate stereotype from the drop down list.
synchronized: Set this value as true or false from the drop down list.
throws: Use the drop down list to select the appropriate throws statement.
time: This field allows you to enter text for the time requirement of an operation.
visibility: Set the visibility for the operation from the drop down list. Choose from public, private, protected, or package local.
NB: Abstract, final, native, static, synchronized and visibility
properties apply only for Class operations.
Javadoc Properties
The Properties view for source-generating elements also displays Javadoc properties. Using javadoc tags enables you to automatically generate a complete, well-formatted API from your source code. You can enter a description and specify values for Javadoc tags applicable to the selected element. These values are used when you generate Javadoc using the Documentation Generation feature of Together (File > Export > UML Documentation). Filling in the Javadoc fields automatically generates appropriate tags in the Javadoc tags in the source code.
comment: Adds a comment to the source code. The comment is displayed in the generated documentation.
deprecated: Adds a comment to the generated documentation indicating that the API is deprecated and should no longer be used (even though it may continue to work).
exception: Use the @exception tag in place of the @throws tag. Use the file chooser button to designate the class-name of the exception that may be thrown by the method. A "Throws" heading is inserted in the generated documentation.
params: Adds a parameter to the "Parameters" section. You can insert multiple values in this field.
return: Use this field to add a "Returns" comment with the description text. The text should describe the return type and a permissible range of values.
see: Adds a hyperlinked "See also" entry when using the Documentation Generation feature.
since: Adds a "Since" entry with the specified since-text to the generated documentation. This tag indicates that this change or feature has existed since the software release specified by the since-text.
