How to: Ecore Diagram for EMF [message #659437] |

I am learning EMF via the newest tutorial I can find - http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipseEMF/article.html.
I have been able to produce a model per:
File / New / Project... / Eclipse Modeling Framework /Empty EMF project
I have attempted to create an Ecore diagram via the directions:
'Select the folder "model", right click on the folder and select New / Other... / Ecore Tools / Ecore Diagram'
But when I get to 'Ecore Tools', there is not Ecore Diagram option.
I have not been able to identify an update site using the key words 'Ecore Diagram'.
I would appreciate any direction to identifying a path forward.

Ray,
The things you see in menus are often affected by other features that
have been installed, so it's not surprising that you'll generally see a
different menu than what the tutorial writer would have captured. All
the basic things described in the tutorials should still function well
in the latest version of Eclipse so best to overlook superficial
differences.
