removeMethods

Description

With this configuration toggle you can remove all methods from the generated diagram text.

If you want to remove specific methods from the diagram, you have to use the methods blacklist regular expression configuration option.

If you want to hide all methods on the rendered diagram but do not want to remove them from the diagram text, you have to use the hide methods configuration option.

Default value

The default value of this configuration option is false (nothing is removed).

Example

In the following example there are three dependencies in the maven dependency hierarchy which build the classpath for all further generation:

	<dependencies>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>de.elnarion.util</groupId>
			<artifactId>plantuml-generator-util</artifactId>
			<version>@project.version@</version>
			<classifier>tests</classifier>
			<type>test-jar</type>
		</dependency>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>commons-io</groupId>
			<artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
			<version>2.16.1</version>
		</dependency>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>javax.persistence</groupId>
			<artifactId>javax.persistence-api</artifactId>
			<version>2.2</version>
		</dependency>
	</dependencies>

From this classpath all classes of the package "de.elnarion.test.domain.t0015", which are also used by the JUnit-tests of the PlantUML generator utility, should be generated as class diagram with the following plugin configuration:

			<plugin>
				<artifactId>plantuml-generator-maven-plugin</artifactId>
				<groupId>de.elnarion.maven</groupId>
				<version>@project.version@</version>
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<id>generate-simple-diagram</id>
						<goals>
							<goal>generate</goal>
						</goals>
						<phase>generate-test-sources</phase>
						<configuration>
							<outputFilename>testdiagram1.txt</outputFilename>
							<scanPackages>
								<scanPackage>de.elnarion.test.domain.t0015</scanPackage>
							</scanPackages>
							<removeMethods>true</removeMethods>
						</configuration>
					</execution>
				</executions>
			</plugin>

but all methods should be removed from the rendered diagram. This configuration leads to this diagram:

and produces this PlantUML diagram text:

@startuml

class de.elnarion.test.domain.t0015.Testclass1 {
	{field} +testfield : long
}

class de.elnarion.test.domain.t0015.Testclass2 {
}

de.elnarion.test.domain.t0015.Testclass1 -->  de.elnarion.test.domain.t0015.Testclass2 : testfield2
