Description Scott Greer

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=360792 for the motivation;  there will always be certain part types / stereotypes that are meaningless for a given generator, e.g., RUIHandler for Java gen, Entity for JS gen.  We need a mechanism by which generators can detect these parts and provide some sort of informational message while generating nothing for that part.

This falls into the category of providing generator validation.

This issue is addressed by the validation that was added recently.  Generators can now tell the compiler "I don't support that" and the user will see an error in their source code.

Moving old fixed bugs from the RESOLVED state to CLOSED.
