Validation functionality

[keesnieuwstad]

Reading from the readme, I suppose this Plugin does not include validation functionality to validate if a model adheres to the UFO / OntoUML rules. I wonder if this assumption is correct?

It's a while since I last worked on this, but if I recall correctly, it does call the validation service. There is, however, a bug in the feedback loop that should bring you to the element in error, but sometimes fails to do so and brings you to an seemingly arbitrary other element. This may have to do with the (lack of) global uniqueness of id's in EA. There is also a possibility to identify model elements by GUID, but that's not implemented in the plugin.

Thank you for your response, henkk. It is nice to know a bit more about the status of the project (in the readme it is clear that is a proof of concept).
