PhpStorm, UML diagrams and xmi-files

Question

I've a got huge PHP project with lots of classes, interfaces, abstraction layers... I need to see UML classes diagram. I'm wondering if PhpStorm can generate the one?

What I've found is that it is possible to view "diagram" for a single class: right click in File Explorer->Diargams->Show Diargram. Then I can add classes manually one by one.

But it is not exactly what I want. It will take eternity to add all classes. I don't need interactive diagram. I just need to see whole picture of my project.

Also, I've tried to use PHP_UML from PEAR. I've generated xmi-file using it. But several tools say that it is not valid(Sparx Enterprise Architect, ArgoUML and Visual Paradigm). And seems like PhpStorm can't open xmi-file(it opened as plain text file).

So, my questions are:

1. Is it possible to build UML diagram of whole project in PhpStorm?

2. Is it possible to make PhpStorm open xmi-file "properly"?

3. Is there any other tool which would show me ULM based on xmi.

Looks like very trivial problem by I can't find the solution.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

1. Try to use the Diagrams context menu on the project root directory in the Project View tool window.
2. No.
3. Not my field, but Visual Paradigm may help. Not sure why it didn't work for you. They also provide integration with IntelliJ IDEA, so you can contact them and ask if they have a plug-in for PhpStorm.
