Interface IUMLLanguageDescriptor

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractLanguageDescriptor

public interface IUMLLanguageDescriptor

This is a descriptor interface that describes a static language and certain model dependencies for a particular language type (if applicable). Note: A language descriptor has two language name components: Language ID, and Language Display Name. A language ID is the actual language that will be stored in the model. The Language Display Name is a user visible representation of the language (in most cases it will be the same).
