This seems to be the reason why 'xcore' was not included in the build. Idem for 'uml2'.
Target platform needs to be activated. Doc ?
Hi @OepenerPlatt, Exactly, you have to activate the target platform defined in net.sourceforge.plantuml.target/eclipse-2023-12.target. Then, you'll compile your workspace against the target platform, i.e. a certain selection of plug-ins / features that are expected to be installed in the target Eclipse IDE.
You activate the target platform by opening the target file and clicking on "Set as Active Target Platform".
This way, all the xtext plug-ins will be available.
Would be nice if the target platform could be set automatically when you clone the repo. I will check how it can be done.
AFAIK, there is no way to automate activation of a target platform. And I think, it's not desired, since you could have multiple target platform definition files in your workspace. How can the IDE know, which one to activate?
We could of course improve the documentation and better explain what to do when developing PlantUML Eclipse plug-ins.
