Use puml to generate sources diagrams

[slawekjaranowski]

We have diagram of Maven sources repositories: https://maven.apache.org/scm.html
https://maven.apache.org/maven-sources.png

I don't see a way to easy edit this png file .... so I try to use a puml for generate it.

The result can look like:

Links in puml also working 😄

If you like it I will continue work.

Big +1 from my side for having a text source for these kind of diagrams, rather than a binary one.

Typo, or is it really named "scm-ppublish" (double 'p')?

My PlantUML knowledge is a bit rusty... Is there a difference between -[hidden]-> (as above) and -[hidden]> (here)?

I also learn by testing ...https://plantuml.com/component-diagram

By default, links between classes have two dashes -- and are vertically oriented. It is possible to use horizontal link by putting a single dash (or dot) like this:

From the same page:

It is also possible to change arrow direction by adding left, right, up or down keywords inside the arrow:

How would you feel about using that notation? I feel it might be friendlier to those who aren't so familiar with PlantUML and wish to make changes to this diagram.

FTR, source OpenOffice document has been committed with output png in 9a8edf7

but using PlantUML looks like a very good idea: trying on this schema as a first case is great. I'd love to be able to replace this OpenOffice approach to all the schemas I did, because it is a way to edit, but. not really easy

ideally also, generating an image map with links to target urls would be great
