Features

Structure view, code navigation between declaration and usages, renaming
Supports multiple sources per file
Supports pagination and zoom
Can copy diagram to clipboard or export as PNG, EPS or SVG, ASCII Art

Tips

PlantUML code must be inside @startuml and @enduml tags to be rendered.
To be able to generate many diagram types, you must have Graphviz installed on your machine. For Windows, use Development version, not Stable 2.38 - that one is very old. You have to select your OS/Release and then go in Artefact tab to get .exe file or zip. About screen tests your installation.
