PlantUML is an open-source component used to draw UML diagrams from their textual description.
|
|
|
|
### Overview
|
|
This documentation will _not_ describe the PlantUML language description.
|
|
Please refer to [PlantUML site](http://plantuml.com) for that.
|
|
|
|
Here, some information about how PlantUML is implemented will be provided to help the
|
|
integration of PlantUML with other programs.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunatly, here, we have to raise a **warning**:
|
|
|
|
While PlantUML language description remains stable over version and follow ascending
|
|
compatibility, the *implementation* of PlantUML changes very often over time.
|
|
|
|
So if you use classes described in this documentation, it's very likely that you will have
|
|
an issue someday, because thoses class may change without any notice. They could even be deleted.
|
|
|
|
It used to happen more often than you think over years, because we try to constantly improve the
|
|
general design of PlantUML, and this imply a continuous refactoring.
|
|
|
|
The only exception is the `net.sourceforge.plantuml` package, that we will keep
|
|
as stable as possible over time.
