I'm not aware of anything for either the old version, which you are wasting your time studying/using, or the new version.

There are design notes of varying accurancy throughout the v3 wiki space, but nothing up to date and no diagrams of any real relevance that I know of.

It's not in C++, it's in Java.

I only write text, and there is a fair amount of discussion of the components, but not the code, in the V3 documentation now. It is always going to be textual, I'm visually illiterate, so I can't produce anything diagram-like that would be useful. If somebody else can, that's great (for others, has no value to me).

You'd need to start by dumping everything you started with, because V2 is not current code.

There are no example projects of any sort yet for V3, though I guess the maven overlay stuff that Unicon has been working on is probably in that vein or might be eventually.

With suitable adjustments, plugins for things like the attribute resolver are more or less similar and have similar requirements. Other kinds of plugins will be very different, usually simpler.

The project simply has no resources available to work on this kind of material. It takes a very large amount of time to do. Whether it's self-defeating or not, that's how it is.
