Built-in Functions %upper and %lower not working in Eclipse #118

Closed schmidtjano closed 3 years ago

schmidtjano commented 3 years ago

Happy Monday!

I was receiving an "Unknow [sic] built-in function" error when using the functions %upper() and %lower() and have been informed by a helpful user on PlantUML Q&A that these functions are only supported in PlantUML from v1.2020.2 (2020-03-01).

Running the Help>Check for Updates feature in Eclipse has no effect on the PlantUML version used by your software, which remains at 1.2019.11 (Sun Sep 22 05:02:15 CDT 2019) (EPL source distribution) Loaded from bundleresource://1436.fwk1150293741/.

I also tried replacing the PlantUML JAR file in the Eclipse directory C:\Users\mailb\eclipse\modeling-latest-released\eclipse\configuration\org.eclipse.osgi\1436\0.cp\lib with the latest version, also to no avail.

Do I have to wait for you to update your software or is there a way I can install the latest plantuml.1.2020.22.jar version available on PlantUML.com? I apologise for this newbie question, but I have only been using PlantUML and Eclipse for 1½ months.

Many thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Jan

Currently, the eclipse support for plantuml is provided in several features, one of which is the wrapper of the underlying plantuml.jar. But in this case, I cannot just update that features, since it's incompatible with the main other feature. Hence, it will be part of the next full release.
