Classes that implement an interface don't have to adhere to the interface #50

Closed JohnMarkHowell closed 4 years ago

JohnMarkHowell commented 4 years ago

When defining an interface and then define a class that implements that interface, there does not appear to be any restrictions to enforce that the class does, in fact, implement that interface.

It would also be helpful if I could right click on an interface entity and say 'create a class implementing this interface'.

Or am I missing some of the functionality?

Hello @JohnMarkHowell , thank you very much for reporting the issue.

I'm not quite sure, that really enforcing it in the diagram is a good idea, although the code generation most definitely needs to be tweaked.

As for your other question:

There is also a similar button in the EditMembers dialog, which you can use for now. But I agree - a context menu entry should give a better visibility to this functonality.

Awesome! Thank you Georgi! I had not spotted that icon. I'm just getting familiar with the tool and have yet to dig far into the source but from the various other free UML tools I've tried, this one is closer to the UML spec and symbols than most. And it's much easier to use. Thank you for keeping a good tool alive and hopefully I can help out at some point.
