Specifying association classes inside vs. outside of packages

Question

Hello,

I detected in class diagrams with association classes, that there is a difference where you define the association class (inside or outside of the package declaration):

Is this a bug?

Answer 1

It's not a bug.

Order of declarations is important.

When you do an association like this, what PlantUML is doing is creating a black dot to connect the classes, if you put the association outside of the package, it creates the dot outside of the package.
