Confluence and PlantUML

Confluence PlantUML PlugIn

A free plantuml plugin for confluence exists.

Confluence Image from location

PlantUML images can be “Inserted” info confluence in several ways.

Insert files and images - Attached to this page

A plantuml diagram can be attached as an image file per any other image file using the “Insert files and images - Attached to this page” option.

Insert files and images - Images from the web

Confluence images can be inserted via a URL i.e. “Images from the web”.

This URL could be e.g.

  1. An image from bitbucket where the source code is also stored (the URL for the raw file would be used)

  2. An Encoding URL for PlantUML Server for source and diagram where Confluence invokes the URL to the PlantUML Server, and the PlantUML Server returns the associated image.

Note

For Encoding URL for PlantUML Server for source and diagram, if the source is edited, a new URL will be created so you will need to “Insert files and images - Images from the web” again for the new diagram to be displayed on the Confluence page.
