Interface MetaTypes

public interface MetaTypes

This interface contains methods to retrieve objects that represent the different UML types. These objects are use as tokens used to create model elements in some methods. TODO: There are parts of ArgoUML which assume that the objects returned here are Classes. We should formalize that by changing the return types to match. tfm - 20070620
