Description Navid Mehregani CLA 2011-07-20 11:32:47 EDT 
Build Identifier: 

At the moment there is no way to capture the description of an annotation attribute.  Similar to Stereotype attributes, there should be a description associated with these and the description should be displayed as a column in the annotation view (see attached snapshot).

Reproducible: Always

How to set description in EMF

Hi Navid,

I have done this feature. I wanted a little clarification.

For the tigerstripe stereotype attributes the annotation view show the description of each attribute stereotype. It's no problem. 

But for the standart annotation types that are created through a extenstion point was no way to set description for each attribute. Now, If you want to set a description for those attributes you ought to add a EMF annotation 
with URI 'http:///org/eclipse/tigerstripe/annotation/Info' and key 'description'. Please see the attahed screenshot. Thanks.
