Diagramming Camel routes with PlantUML

, by

Hello Camel riders! I created a tool which allows to draw a PlantUML activity diagram from a running Camel context (not at design time). The above image shows what kind of diagram you can expect. I find it useful when I need to have a overall view of interactions between all the routes and endpoints, or to have a visual representation for better understanding and documentation. You can find all the details on the public GitHub repository.
