public class AssociationEnd

extends ModelElement

An association end is an endpoint of an association, which connects the association to a classifier. Each association end is part of one association; the association-ends of each association are ordered.

In the metamodel an AssociationEnd is part of an Association and specifies the connection of an Association to a Classifier. It has a name and defines a set of properties of the connection. e.g., which Classifier the Instances must conform to, their multiplicity, and if they may be reached from another Instance via this connection.
