Description

When trying to parse operation call expression that invokes a static \ operation,

myPackage::MyClass::operation()

I get the following error:\ 1:19:1:20 "+" expected instead of "::"\ (I would rather expect something like "(Cannot find operation (operation())" \ here.)

The OCL 2.0 spec mentions the following rule for this case.\ [G] OperationCallExpCS ::= pathNameCS '(' argumentsCS? ')

I think AttributeCallExpCS involving static attributes also falls into this \ area.\ But it looks like supporting this also in evaluation would require\ extending EvaluationEnvironment interface with something like\ Object evaluate(Object target, EStructuralFeature feature)\ operation, similarly as it is done for operations.

Regarding comment #1, the new org.eclipse.ocl.EvaluationEnvironment API does implement property calls, and this is used by the org.eclipse.ocl.uml plug-in to support static attribute calls.

Committed a fix for static operation and attribute calls using '::'. Includes validation that the statically called features are, indeed, static (which is usually applicable only to UML).
