Quick start

See https://plantuml.com/starting

  1. Go to https://plantuml.com/download and choose the GPL compiled jar.
  2. Launch the PlantUML GUI with java -jar plantuml.jar -gui
  3. With the GUI, navigate to a directory containing plantuml text files. The UML image files should be automatically created in the same directory.

Or without the GUI, watch a directory for changes and re-generate image files automatically

java -jar plantuml.jar -watch ./trading-uml
