The easiest way to test PlantUML is in an online solution that has PlantUML embedded, such as our online server.
sequenceDiagram.txt
:
@startuml
Alice -> Bob: test
@enduml
2. Run (or have your software call) PlantUML, using
sequenceDiagram.txt
as input. The output is an image, which either appears in the other software, or is written to an image file on disk.
java -jar plantuml.jar sequenceDiagram.txt
This outputs your sequence diagram to a file called
sequenceDiagram.png
.
