diagrams.net build of PlantUML
Strips out eggs, games, licensing, GPL licensed code, etc. Build of server version found under server repo packages section.
diagrams.net specific changes: Start by merging with base repository, fix conflicting changes, check dependencies for vulnerabilities (and update as needed), then test the build with maven.
It is recommended to build using Java 11 now. Change you Java version to 11 before running the build.
Test the code using mvn clean package which run plantuml test suite as well as build the project.
In order to deploy our custom PlantUML jars to Github, change the version in build.xml (in mvn_windows and mvn_unix targets). Then build using ant ant mvn-deploy-jar. Finally in PlantUML Server & PlantUML Serverless repositories, change the dependency version to match the new version (in pom.xml find plantuml.version property)
