Xatkit UML Platform
Create and manipulate UML (meta) models in Xatkit execution models.
UML models are internally stored as instances of the Eclipse UML metamodel. To render them (see Save action below), we rely on PlantuML: the UML model is transformed to PlantUML syntax and render by PlantUML before returning it back to the requester.
Providers
The UML platform does not define any provider.
