I found a work-around for this exact problem by side-stepping the "java.exe" shortcut that is installed by the java installer (java version "1.8.0_45") at "C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath". Look at your "Path" environment variable in a command prompt window (type "path") and see if the directory for java includes symlink entries as it does on my system (Win7 64 bit). If you look at "properties" for the shortcut called "java.exe" you can see where it points to the real executable: C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath>dir Directory of C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath ... 07/01/2015 09:01 AM <SYMLINK> java.exe [C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_45\bin\java.exe] So, I wrote a short batch file to prepend the actual install directory of java to the front of my path that I can run before running doxygen (in the same Command Prompt window): REM Put the "real" java path in front of the one with a symlink to work with doxygen: set Path=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_45\bin;%Path% Now Plantuml diagrams are created fine via doxygen. I would NOT recommend modifying your "Path" environment variable permanently because this could open various security holes or break other things. Hopefully someone will figure out the underlying problem with how java is launched from doxygen and make plantuml work out-of-the-box. -- View this message in context: http://doxygen.10944.n7.nabble.com/doxywizard-can-t-run-PlantUML-tp7188p7257.html Sent from the Doxygen - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
