Introduction

This library generates PlantUML class diagrams from Java classes.

Features

The library in its current state was created for getting a data model presentation of entities or DTOs.

This is the first version and has the following limitations:

• No methods are included
• No generics on classes are considered
• Only the passed package is scanned and no outside package
• It might be nice to add documentation based on supplied sources
• it might be nice to support some stereotypes based on existing annotation

Usage

        String dbModel = new Converter("mypackage.foo.bar", Arrays.asList("myIncludeRegEx"), Arrays.asList("myExcludeRegEx")).convert();
        FileUtils.writeStringToFile(new File(dbModel.pu"), dbModel, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);

Take note that classes are ending with .class when giving includes and excludes.
