The diagram view does not show the correct type of diagram

The KLighD diagram probably uses the default EObjectDiagramSynthesis instead of your project-specific synthesis. To correct that, go into the 3-dots-menu of the diagram view, on Syntheses, and select the [your project architecture name]DiagramSynthesis instead.

The generated bundles do not compile/work when launched from Eclipse

This can have multiple reasons, these solutions may solve that:

Set the correct target platform

The generated bundles have some dependencies that need to be resolvable when building them. A working target platform is automatically generated along with the project-specific bundles in the spviz.build/de.cau.cs.kieler.spviz.targetplatform/de.cau.cs.kieler.spviz.targetplatform.target file, activate that and see if that fixed the problem. After restarting Eclipse you may also need to reload this target platform.

Update/rebuild the projects

The generated projects may need to be rebuilt by Eclipse (Project->Clean...->Select generated bundles->Clean) or by the m2e Plugin (right click on one of the generated .model bundles->Maven->Update Project...->Select generated bundles->Ok)

There may be some old artifacts/configurations in the bundle

From older versions of SPViz or your .spviz and .spvizmodel files there may be some artifacts in the generated bundles which are out of date or do not work anymore. For this it may help if you back up manual configuration of the build files and the src/ folder of the generated bundles and let SPViz regenerate them from scratch and them reapply your manual configuration.
