I haven't used EMF, and I'm pretty new to Eclipse plugin development. I recently inherited a somewhat large Eclipse plugin codebase, which is used for viewing and editing files in a custom specification language. The language has an analog with UML, and there is even an existing Python-based tool that is used to generate UML diagrams from models in that specification language.

I'm looking for possible strategies for augmenting my Eclipse plugin to add a feature to generate graphical UML diagrams from what the user views and edits in the plugin, and without using the existing Python tool.

From the little I've read about EMF, it's mostly for going in the "other direction", from UML model specifications to code. However, people in this forum might be aware of other toolsets that might make sense for what I need.

You can use plantuml to generate uml diagrams - png or svg.

This looks good. Do you happen to know exactly what GraphViz is required for? It seems ambiguous. For generating a class diagram, and other image types, it seems like it has no purpose. I asked this in the PlantUML forum, but perhaps someone here might know.

Never mind, I got an authoritative response from PlantUML.
