use external plantuml.jar

[stemey]

Is it possible to configure an externally located plantuml.jar, so that it can be updated while node-plantuml is not? I am thinking about a path parameter to pass to generate().

Hi, sorry for my late reply.

This is currently not possible, but I'm looking into a good way to do it. Probably it won't be as dynamic as providing it to the generate function, as nailgun needs to be restarted when changing jar (if using nailgun).

I'll keep you updated, and I'll probably have a version out soon with support for it.

It looks like if you set PLANTUML_HOME in the environment you can specify your own plantuml.jar location.
