How to open .uml files saved from diagram viewer plugin in other tools?
Hi all,
When choosing "Save" in a Maven Dependencies diagram (powered by yFiles), the file extension saved is ".uml", and is an XML file with the following format:
<Diagram>
<ID>MAVEN</ID>
<OriginalElement>...</OriginalElement>
<nodes>
<node x="111" y="222">...</node>
...
</nodes>
<notes />
<edges>
<edge ...>
<settings layout="Hierarchic Group" zoom="0.02059732234809475" x="8028.299999999999" y="12613.324999999999" />
<SelectedNodes>
<node>...</node>
</SelectedNodes>
<Categories />
<VISIBILITY>Compile</VISIBILITY>
</Diagram>
It seems to only be opened in IntelliJ, which is limiting since yFiles is able to export in many more portable formats that could be used in other graphing/UML tools (including yEd, which is free).
Can anyone offer insight on if this is usable in other applications or is it just usable within IntelliJ? I think it would be pretty straightforward to enable the other export options in yFiles to allow portability with these diagrams.
Thanks,
Dallas
