• Project Sets
  Per MagicDraw project, the Maven projects and the Project Sets that are built in a run, configured in JEAF → Settings....

• View Local Git Changes
  Lists the files of the Maven projects of a Project Set that differ from the last commit, e.g. after a run of JEAF Generator. A side-by-side diff with syntax highlighting (e.g. Java, XML, YAML) shows the changes of a file, and selected files can be reverted to their version in the last commit.
