Actors

In the Actors package, each actor has a package named for the actor. In this package is the actor itself along with a diagram showing the actor and all the I/O entities connected with that actor. Figure 6-9shows an example of this kind of diagram:

￿Notice that the associations between the Actor and I/O Entities are stereotyped with either <send>>, <<receive>>, or <<send_receive>>. These come from the MDSD UML profile contained in the MDSD plug-in.

￿If the model template is used, there will be a Building Blocks folder in several places within the model structure. This is there to help create a consistent mini-structure. Just copy/paste the folder under the ${Building Blocks} folder, to the folder above.
