[Better Comment Initiative]: FAMIX.Entity

We have

FAMIX.Entity extends Moose.Entity

        FAMIXEntity is the abstract root class of the FAMIX meta-model entities.


        Fields.
        /annotationInstances: AnnotationInstance* → annotatedEntity

Proposed new version:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FAMIX.Entity extends Moose.Entity

        FAMIXEntity is the abstract root class of the FAMIX meta-model entities. Subclasses will represent structural entities
        of program: relations, types, functions...

        Any FAMIXEntity can be attached properties (declared using <property:longName:description:>), navigation queries using (<navigation:>) and simple state (using propertyAt: and propertyAt:put:).
        Such behavior is important for extensibility. It is inherited from Moose.Entity (See MooseEntity).


        Fields.
        /annotationInstances: AnnotationInstance* → annotatedEntity


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Question why FAMIXAnnotationInstance are in Java Package?
Answer because /annotationInstances comes only from Java.

Question: could we tag fields as coming from a specific extension?

annotatedEntity
        <MSEProperty: #annotatedEntity type: #FAMIXEntity opposite: #annotationInstances>
        ^ annotatedEntity

may be this is an opportunity to use <package: 'Java'>

Now how could we get that
        <MSEProperty: #annotatedEntity type: #FAMIXEntity opposite: #annotationInstances>
        is associated to <package: 'Java'>?

        No. It should be:

        As any MooseEntity, a FAMIXEntity should be meta-described using Fame. This is achieved by means of <MSEProperty:type:>, and <MSEProperty:type:opposite:> pragmas.

        This should not be in the core comment, because this is an extension.

This is definitely the idea. It will probably be <package: 'FamixJava'> :)

This should not be in the comment. We have opened an issue for that:
