SysML support

[bpatram]

Hi, there seems to be many requests for SysML (systems modeling) support which extends UML to allow for additional drawing types. Personally, I would love to see support for this added into PlantUML! This page does a good job explaining what SysML adds to the UML spec. The OMG SysML spec can be found here https://www.omg.org/spec/SysML/. I'm not sure what all is required (guidance would be appreciated) to get this sort of functionality added but there seems to be interest in the community!

Below is a list of some of existing requests to add SysML support:

• http://forum.plantuml.net/5893/add-support-for-sysml-diagram-generation
• http://forum.plantuml.net/5191/diagrams-block-definition-diagrams-internal-block-diagrams
• http://forum.plantuml.net/378/sysml-block-defintion-diagram-internal-block-diagram
• http://forum.plantuml.net/2353/connections-with-port-for-sysml

@bpatram, I think the thing here is to create some kind of macro(s) that give a basic indicator of what can be hopefully achieved.

e.g. an overly simple set of macros

If you work primarily in SysML, then you'll likely be best to carve out the definitions, keywords, and any specific shapes required.

I would be interested in having SysML diagrams supported, too. For my use case, the highest priority would be granted to

• Block definition diagram and Internal block diagram
• Sequence diagram
• Activity diagram

I can try to help with the implementation efforts.

I'd also be willing to help implement the diagram types that @ndandanov mentioned above!

@FredeEB I haven't had much spare time to get any traction with this unfortunately. Feel free to take the torch and run with it!

Damn, I forgot that it was Java. I don't know java at all, seeing as I'm primarily in low level hardware engineering. Seems very logical that there's no SysML when UML is all you need in software. Hope someone will pick it up!
