Usage
Plugin goals in the Maven build lifecycle
The C4-PlantUML Maven Plugin goals are bound to default phases in the build lifecycle, so you only have to specify the goals you want to use:
From the command line:
To check the syntax of your files, you’ll do:
mvn compile org.thewonderlemming.c4plantuml:c4plantuml-maven-plugin:check-syntax
To lint your files, you’ll do:
mvn compile org.thewonderlemming.c4plantuml:c4plantuml-maven-plugin:lint
You can the list of the available goals there.
Configuring your plugin
You should specify the version in your project’s plugin configuration:
<project>

<build>
