Hello all!
I have a memory of someone thinking it would be a good idea not to have
the MDR instantiated by default from the Model subsystem. I think I have
now understood how to solve this and the solution is not as complicated
as I thought. I have identified the following changes:
* MDR to be instantiated in the application subsystem (probably
org.argouml.application.Main) and fed to the Model subsystem.
* As a consequence of this, the ArgoEclipse application will also have
to instantiate it.
* All test cases that actually use the model will have to instantiate it
(except those using the mock model).
* For extra credit, we could throw a special NotInitializedError when
any of the access methods are called without the Model subsystem being
initialized properly. For the time being they will most likely throw an
NullPointerException.
Have I missed something important that will complicate this later? Is
this worth doing now?
