Umple Mixsets with Traits

Mixsets with Traits
Traits can include mixsets with their bodies. For example, the code below contains the 'Numerical' mixset, which ensures the implementaion of extra methods (isGreaterThan and isLessThan) when its activited by a use statement.
Example
trait TEquality{
Boolean isEqual(Object object);
Boolean isNotEqual(Object object){
return isEqual(object) ? false : true;
}
mixset Numerical {
Boolean isGreaterThan(Object object);
Boolean isLessThan(Object object);
}
}
class RealNumber
{
float value;
isA TEquality;
Boolean isEqual(Object object)
{
if(object instanceof RealNumber)
return this.value == ((RealNumber) object).value;
else
return false;
}
}
/*
The below use statement generates an error in Umple when its activited.
Because the trait TEquality has the Numerical mixset, and there is no
implementaion for its methods (isGreaterThan and isLessThan).
*/
//use Numerical;
