How to use it

• It is recommended to create a new project (name it anything but "untitled") so all OntoUML's stereotypes are created in the scope of the project. If you don't want to create a new project, the plugin has a button to add all stereotypes to the project.

• Create a new class diagram. Set the stereotype in a class, all OntoUML's stereotypes will be in the list. Same thing for associations. The plugin's actions are in the Plugin tab.

• For meronymic associations, you may want to change their tagged values. To show them, right-click in the background of the class diagram area, go to Presentation Options, then to Show Tagged Values.
