Operation

The helper first checks there are swimlanes already on the diagram (swimlanes may only be added to a diagram with no swimlanes). The helper then checks the owner of the activity and looks for any parts it has. If the owner has more than one part typed by the same classifier then for each part, a new swimlane is added to the diagram and the swimlane is mapped to the part. If each part is unique (that is the same classifier is not used more than once) then a swimlane is generated for each classifier and is mapped to the classifier that types the part.

In addition, the swimlane name is modified to reflect the classifier (classiferNameSwimlane).
