I am trying to use the doxywizard with PlantUML.  PlantUML works fine by
itself.  But when the doxywizard gets to the step to invoke PlantUML, it
throws up a dialog saying "choose the program you want to use to open this
file: java.exe".  Why is it trying to "open" java.exe?  It should just run
it!  I'm on Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit.  Doxygen is 1.8.9.1 installed
from the binary distribution doxygen-1.8.9.1-setup.exe.

Any help is appreciated!
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):

That's becoming a pain though as soon as the JRE is updated.

I had this issue, too; it appears that, as of recently, Windows refuses to execute symbolic links with an ".exe" extension. On the interwebs there are some hints that this change in behaviour was introduced with security update KB3039066 (see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3039066), and indeed selectively uninstalling that update fixed the problem for me. (Obviously you'll have to live with an unpatched potential security issue instead, so you may choose not to go that way.)
