Diagram is not shown for xcore files

[OepenerPlatt]

Hi,
the PlantUml view does not show the diagrams associated with xcore files.
It works correctly when a java file is opened in the editor.

I'm using the latest Eclipse 2020-06 and ran the updates. (Btw., it did not work in 2020-03 either).
Plantuml Ecore feature has version 1.1.24.

Any idea what am I doing wrong ?
Thanks.

The xcore support hasn't been part of the update site for some time. I can add it to the next release, as a separately installable feature.

Many many thanks !
I'm very interessted in that because I am currently working on an Xtext based DSL to modernize our IBMi (formerly AS/400) and CA2E (formerly Synon/2E) based development. I want to centralize the whole code base in the Eclipse ecosystem that we use since many years for the java client part (Eclipse E4 Rcp with xcore) and so called 'alienHelpers' that extend the traditional IBMi functionnality with the power of java.
PlantUml allows to give very good insights into the models at 'no cost'.

Any updates regarding the roadmap of this feature?

@hallvard
Do you think it could be made available in a (not too far ...) future ? Would be greatly appreciated !

@hallvard
Any news about this feature ?
Could I possibly contribute/help in making it available again ?

Hi @OepenerPlatt,
It seems, @hallvard has no time for maintaining the PlantUML Eclipse plug-in. Maybe you could look at the latest source code, implement a fix in a pull request and I would try to merge it for the next release.

Hi @travkin79,
I would like to give it a try. Give me some time to find my way into the code.
Are there contribution guidelines to consider ?

[travkin79]

Hi @OepenerPlatt,
I'd say, create a fork / pull request, start your development in a new branch coming from the develop branch, use the issue number in the commits (#112), and check out the Readme.md files in the git repository. That's it 😄.

Hi @travkin79,
it took me some time, but I finally got the original functionality working in my fork.
Would you mind taking a look into my notes ? OepenerPlatt#11 (comment)
Maybe that we can discuss what (and how) I can contribute back to the original repo and what needs further investigation/discussion.

Many thanks.

Hi @OepenerPlatt,
That are good news! Thank you very much. Unfortunately, I cannot look into the details before April. I'm currently not in office for some time. I'll take a look at your code when I'm back in office.
Best regards,
Dietrich

Dear @travkin79,
no problem.
There are still a couple of things I can fix or investigate in the meantime.
