example:
 
    SourceStringReader reader = new SourceStringReader("@startuml\n" +
    "xxx\n" +
    "@enduml");
    ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    reader.generateImage(os, 0, new FileFormatOption(FileFormat.PNG));

 

JDK 1.7+ works fine, JDK 1.6.0.45 fails

Thanks for the feedback.

It's an issue with the Locale.

This has been fixed in last beta https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13064071/plantuml.jar

Tell us if it's working for you.

Regards,

It does not, new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-u", Locale.US) does not work for me - Illegal pattern character 'u'
commented May 21, 2016 by plantuml (294,960 points)
Could you try : new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-u", Locale.ENGLISH)
Thanks!
commented May 21, 2016 by krasa (820 points)
same, I looked into docs, and 'u' is not in the table in JDK 1.6...
commented May 21, 2016 by plantuml (294,960 points)
Ok, let's not use this 'u' anymore.
You'll find a new corrected beta here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13064071/plantuml.jar
If you need the patched class, it's here
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13064071/DateEventUtils.java

Tell us if it's still not working for you!
