simpleUML, PlantUML, none seem to be budging

What issues are you having? I’ve been using PlantUML as a library from Kotlin code for a while on a normal JVM, never had any issues. Might be issues specifically when running on Android, but Kotlin itself shouldn’t be the problem

the context here is Android of course, I want to be able to point it to my src directory and have it generate the UML diagram for my classes

[oday]

ever tried that?

Intellij Idea Ultimate built-in tool was the best for Java. Maybe it'll handle Kotlin as well.

I maintain Orchid, a project for documenting code, especially Kotlin, and have just started having some discussions around adding something like that. Not currently supported out-of-the-box, but is definitely possible with some customization and is quickly becoming a highly desired feature. I would love to hear more about what specifically your’re looking for in these diagrams, if you wanted to share your thoughts in this issue https://github.com/JavaEden/Orchid/issues/275

For more context, this article is an overview of how to use Orchid to build a nice docs site for a Kotlin project. The linked issue would add generated diagrams to this https://dev.to/cjbrooks12/how-to-document-a-kotlin-project-edc
