How to generate diagram with schemacrawler-maven-plugin?

[jeffjensen]

I am struggling to find the correct configuration between pom and property files to generate a diagram. Is it possible to do so or is the Maven plugin not able to generate the diagram?

I'm using these versions:

<groupId>net.sourceforge.schemacrawler</groupId>
<artifactId>schemacrawler-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>9.5</version>

<groupId>us.fatehi</groupId>
<artifactId>schemacrawler</artifactId>
<version>12.06.03</version>        (the latest version I found that works with Java 7)

Jeff, unfortunately I am not maintaining the SchemaCrawler Maven Plugin too much, and it is a separate project from this one. Please check if you can execute SchemaCrawler as a Java process from your Maven project. If you can, then I would love it if you can share what you find. Otherwise, I can certainly use your help on the SchemaCrawler Maven Plugin, if you are so inclined.

Currently, it looks like the plugin correctly runs SchemaCrawler, but the resulting PNG is in the generated page as file contents vs an image (looks like gibberish characters).

I hope to have some time soon to try what you suggest. Improving the plugin is ideal, but using exec may work well enough.

Try using the htmlx output format. I will take a look at the plugin code when I get a chance.

Thanks for the tip. Your suggestion goes directly to my original question: I don't know where to specify the output format for the plugin.

• The plugin does not have an attribute in <configuration>.
• The plugin does not appear to see the schemacrawler.config.properties file.
