public class CreateSymmetricAssociation
extends AbstractWandoraTool
implements WandoraTool

Creates symmetric associations for given associations. Symmetric association has two players swapped. For example association's [P1:R1, P2:R2, P3:R3] symmetric pairs are [P2:R1, P1:R2, P3:R3].

If given association contains more than two players, only selected players are swapped. If selection contains more or less than two players, tool aborts without changes.
