[eclipse-dev] Adding UML diagram generation capabilities to an Eclipse p

["David M. Karr" <davidmichaelkarr@xxxxxxxxx>]

I work on a relatively complex Eclipse plugin codebase which is used for 
viewing and editing files in a specific custom specification language.  
The models developed have an analog in UML models, and there's actually 
an existing Python-based tool that generates UML diagrams from similar 
specifications.

I'm realizing that I might need to add the ability to generate UML 
models from the models developed with this plugin.  I'd prefer not to 
use the Python tool.  I believe there may be toolsets in the Eclipse 
ecosystem that I could use for this.  I believe the EMF project might be 
this, although that might be for the "reverse" use case, that of 
generating code from UML models, which I don't care about.

Is this a possibility?  Assuming there is at least one toolset for this, 
are there relatively straightforward examples I could look at?
