Customizing association accessors

Introduction

Each class that parameterizes the accessors for an association must contain an operation named "declare", used to generate the declaration of the corresponding Java attribute.

The other operations are used to generate attribute or association accessors according to the access mode of their attribute or association.

For associations, one of them must generate an accessor named "card" that returns an integer containing the association's current multiplicity.
