ignoreStandardClasses
Description
With the help of this configuration parameter it is possible to remove all Java standard classes (java.* package names) from the call sequence. Because this is normal wanted behavior this toggle is activated by default. If you want the standard classes in the diagram, you must deactivate it.
Default value
The default value of this configuration is true (all standard java classes are ignored).
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 the sequence diagram is generated, but here also the standard java classes are included. This is similar to the JUnit-tests of the PlantUML generator utility:
<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>generateSequenceDiagram</goal>
</goals>
<phase>generate-test-sources</phase>
<configuration>
<outputFilename>testsequencediagram1.txt</outputFilename>
<startClass>de.elnarion.test.sequence.t0003.MovieService</startClass>
<startMethod>doSomeBusiness</startMethod>
<ignoreStandardClasses>false</ignoreStandardClasses>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
which is rendered this way:
and produces this PlantUML diagram text:
@startuml

participant Long
participant MovieDAO
participant EntityManager
participant Movie
participant EntityTransaction
activate MovieService
MovieService -> Long : valueOf
activate Long
Long --> MovieService
deactivate Long

MovieDAO --> MovieService
deactivate MovieDAO

Without the parameter the diagram would look like this:
