Michael, I'm still thinking about your "draw more, code less" talk and
today I got it in my head that a nice way to learn the PlantUML syntax
might be to start with existing code (Java, in this case) and have a
tool generate the PlantUML for me.
I'm sure various IDE's might have a way to do this, but I figured I'd
start with the command line:
javadoc -private -quiet -J-DdestinationFile=abstract-classes.uml
-J-DcreatePackages=false -J-DshowPublicMethods=true
-J-DshowPublicConstructors=false -J-DshowPublicFields=true -doclet
de.mallox.doclet.PlantUMLDoclet -docletpath ~/bin/plantUmlDoclet.jar
-sourcepath . Duck.java FlyBehavior.java FlyNoWay.java
FlyWithWings.java MallardDuck.java RubberDuck.java
java -jar ~/bin/plantuml.jar -graphvizdot ~/bin/dot -t png abstract-classes.uml
It works great! I'll attach a couple UML files and class diagrams.
