Simple Activity (beta) does not work

Question

Hi,

I tried the example activity diagram in the beta syntax. But it is reporting a syntax error.

$ cat flowchart.txt
@startuml

:Hello world;

:This is on defined on
several <b>lines;

@enduml
$ echo $GRAPHVIZ_DOT
/usr/local/bin/dot

$ java -jar plantuml.jar flowchart.txt
@startuml

:Hello world;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 Syntax Error?
$
 

I am using Mac OS X.

Please help.

Thanks,

Karthick S.

Answer 1

Found the problem. I was using an older version of the jar.

Can someone please update the documentation on the version requirements of plantuml for using the new syntax?

Thanks,
