Calling PlantUML from Java

You can easily integrate PlantUML Dependency with your own code by adding PlantUML Dependency Jars in your classpath.

You have several choices to integrate PlantUML Dependency in your classpath :

• By adding plantuml-dependency-1.4.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar (download it here) in your classpath if you don't use Maven and you want all dependencies in a single Jar
• By adding ant-launcher-1.8.4.jar, ant-1.8.4.jar, plantuml-dependency-cli-1.4.0.jar, plantuml-dependency-common-cli-1.4.0.jar and plantuml-dependency-common-1.4.0.jar (download them here) in your classpath if you don't use Maven and you want all dependencies in several Jars
• By using the following Maven dependency

  <dependencies>
  	<dependency>
  		<groupId>net.sourceforge.plantuml-depend</groupId>
  		<artifactId>plantuml-dependency-cli</artifactId>
  		<version>1.4.0</version>
  	</dependency>
  </dependencies>
  				

The simplest way : using arguments such as the command line

	import java.net.MalformedURLException;
	import java.text.ParseException;

	import net.sourceforge.plantumldependency.cli.main.program.PlantUMLDependencyProgram;
	import net.sourceforge.plantumldependency.commoncli.command.CommandLine;
	import net.sourceforge.plantumldependency.commoncli.command.impl.CommandLineImpl;
	import net.sourceforge.plantumldependency.commoncli.exception.CommandLineException;
	import net.sourceforge.plantumldependency.commoncli.program.JavaProgram;
	import net.sourceforge.plantumldependency.commoncli.program.execution.JavaProgramExecution;

	public class Main {

	    public static void main(final String[] args) throws MalformedURLException, CommandLineException, ParseException {

	        // Creates the PlantUML Dependency arguments as they would be written in the command line
	        final CommandLine commandLineArguments = new CommandLineImpl(new String[] {"-o", "plantuml-jdk-1.7.0.51.txt", "-b", "C:\\jdk-1.7.0.51-src", "-e", "**/package-info.java"});

	        // Creates the PlantUML Dependency program instance
	        final JavaProgram plantumlDependencyProgram = new PlantUMLDependencyProgram();

	        // Get the PlantUML Dependency program execution instance following the command line arguments, ready to be executed
	        final JavaProgramExecution plantumlDependencyProgramExecution = plantumlDependencyProgram.parseCommandLine(commandLineArguments);

	        // Executes the PlantUML Dependency program
	        plantumlDependencyProgramExecution.execute();
	    }
	}
				

Notes

• As you may see, it is not possible to get the OuputStream result once the program is executed yet, it can only write into an output file for the moment (opened feature 28).
• It is not advised to use the verbose level option when calling PlantUML Dependency from Java as it will change the log level of all loggers, including yours (opened bug 6).
