Re: [dotuml][contribute] how to submit patch (legals,
author's position)
Hi Dion,
I think, I should stop testing and extending right now and send a "New
Feature" with attached jar to JIRA.
I would be very glad if you could have a special look at it, because I'm
new in here.
Most of all, an example set seems to be urgently needed. I'll do some of
this in the coming days.
Regards
Ralph

Hi Ralph,
I'm about to test the dotuml plugin. So far I like it.
I came across some questions:
(1) Did you do some work on graphviz as well? Right now, I have to
manually (or in a maven.xml file) run the dot tool to generate e.g. gif
images.
(2) Do you know, if it is possible to generate component diagrams based
on packages?
Thx,
Dominik
