Establishing stereotype inheritance

With stereotype inheritance you can extend existing stereotypes. Stereotypes can inherit from predefined stereotypes or from stereotypes that you have created.

About this task

The derived stereotype inherits the following characteristics from its base stereotype:

While the initial values of properties for the derived stereotype are those that were inherited from the base stereotype, the values can be overridden for the derived stereotype.

You can add tags to the derived stereotype, and add elements to the list of elements to which it can be applied.

To establish stereotype inheritance, in the browser, right-click the stereotype that will be the derived stereotype and select Add New > Super Stereotype

These steps can be repeated in order to create a stereotype that inherits from a number of other stereotypes.
