Perhaps I should, but initially I am just refusing to teach the
students Java.  And they will of course also be explained the
limitations of UML.

Which formal specification language would you suggest for teaching
undergraduate students?  I am open to suggestions.  Formal
specifications is not exactly my primary expertice.  I can easily see
that UML is much too weak, compared to what we can implement in Ada,
but I am not aware of any more practical choices.

Greetings,

Jacob
