Rational Rose and UML 2.0






The version of Rational Rose that is available through an academic licence, supports only UML 1.4 and not 2.0. Some features that we learned in the lectures belong to UML 2.0 (e.g. conditional and iterative messages and blocks of code represented with a frame). There is no direct way to express these in RR. The specification menu of a message in an interaction diagram shows all the possible types of messages that are supported:



You may use an indirect way to record the features that are not supported. For example, you may associate a note with a message in order to show that it is conditional.
