Or even date (dd/MM/yyyy) format so we can use this diagram to generate a graphical presentation of the status history of a ticket (requested, picked, blocked, completed).

We like the idea.

So with last beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar you can now have

@startuml
robust "Web Browser" as WB
concise "Web User" as WU

@0
WU is Idle
WB is Idle

@0:00:30
WU is Waiting : some note
WB is Processing : some other note

@0:01:30
WB is Waiting
@enduml

Date are more difficult to add : we will think about it.

Is this what you are looking for ?

Thank you very much. I need some time to check this up. But I will definitely give feedback.

Sorry for so long feedback. It's work great. Thank's

Thanks for this feature!

It would also be very useful if the specified time could contain millisecond part, i.e. @0:01:30,555.

Yes, milliseconds would be great also!

I workarounded this with purging the hour part and shifting all time elements one hierarchy higher... (minutes becomes hours, seconds becomes minutes, milliseconds becomes seconds)

While this works technically, it doesn't look nice in the timeline of course. :)
