Java code generation functions

Generating several classes within a single source file

Java source files can contain several classes. To generate several classes in the same source file, the file's main class is linked to the other files by an element import link stereotyped as <<JavaFileGroup>>.

A Java source file containing several classes is generated in the model in the following way:

The file's main class is linked to the other files by an element import link stereotyped <<JavaFileGroup>>.

This modeling is clear and replaces the use of the {JavaNonPublic} tagged value although the tagged value will still be taken into account.
