jetbrains-zenuml

The ZenUML plugin running on the JetBrains IDEs.

This official extension integrates ZenUML directly into all JetBrains IDEs. It supports ZenUML diagram files with the extensions .z, .zen and .zenuml.

The editor uses an offline version of ZenUML renderer, therefore it works without an internet connection and content stays local in your IDE.
