It would wonderful if the plantuml team can provide a IDE for the Diagrams. The Intergrated development environment shall include to important features like a Text Editor and Image Viewer. This IDE would integrated with the Source Control Systems to store the Text File and would not Store images. This Text Editor should be able to highlight Syntax, Errors, Compilation Errors, Auto-Complete Feature and the Image Viewer of the application would help the user to Browse the Project, SubProject, Logical Foders, and so on. The Image Editor would help to Visualize large diagrams by supporting Packages and Logical Folders. The Classes inside Packages or Logical Folders would not be shown by default rather would be shown in a pop window or overlays. The Overlays can be opened into a new window by click or double click on the Packages and Logical Folders.
The Projects should also include Project Template for example,
Requirement Projects
Architectural Projects
Design Projects
Runtime Projects (Object Diagram)
Test Projects
Deployment Projects
Import and Export Features to import or export diagrams with Vendor Software's like Enterprise Architect.
and so on.
I believe Such Feature would ensure that the PlantUML Software would be Widely Used and would add more value to it's user.
