Groovy API Client Code

Since calling Java from Groovy is pretty simple, the only thing to do is to copy PlantUML.jar file to the classpath (for example, ../Groovy/Groovy-1.7.6/lib directory).

The following script print the current PlantUML version, and encode a URL: 

println net.sourceforge.plantuml.version.Version.version() println
net.sourceforge.plantuml.code.TranscoderUtil.getDefaultTranscoder().encode("Bob->Alice:hello")

If you want to generate an image from a description: 

s = new net.sourceforge.plantuml.SourceStringReader("@startuml\nBob->Alice:hello\n@enduml")
FileOutputStream file = new FileOutputStream("c:/testGroovy2.png")
s.generateImage(file);
file.close()

Please report any bugs to plantuml@gmail.com or here.
