New project option for PlantUML plugin does not display using Netbeans 8 on Ubuntu 14.04

Question

I have Netbeans 8 running on Ubuntu 14.04.

I have installed the PlantUML plugin from the Netbeans plugin repository and restarted Netbeans.

The PlantUML options tab shows in the options dialog, so the plugin is is installed; however, there is no new UML project in the new projects dialog.

I have tried various things such as uninstalling / reinstalling plugin and Netbeans as well starting with a completely new Netbeans 8 installation after deleting the settings directory.

How could I get the new UML project option to display properly?

Answer 1

There is no need to create a new project to use the PlantUML plugin. Just create new PlantUML Diagram and use the Files tab to manage and preview it.
