To generate images from PlantUML description add following dependency to your pom.xml:

...
<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>com.github.jeluard</groupId>
      <artifactId>plantuml-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>1.2</version>
      <configuration>
        <sourceFiles>
          <directory>${basedir}</directory>
          <includes>
            <include>src/main/plantuml/**/*.txt</include>
          </includes>
        </sourceFiles>
      </configuration>
      <dependencies>
        <dependency>

          <version>7999</version>
        </dependency>
      </dependencies>
    </plugin>
