Hello Nathaniel!
You have found a weakness in the loading mechanism and that is that it
relies on all the fact that all diagrams to be loaded are on the class path.
When you build as you describe the argouml.jar is created without including
them in the Class-Path:-entry in the manifest.
To fix, you can use the same function that we use when doing releases.
Build like this:
svn checkout
http://argouml.tigris.org/svn/argouml/releases/VERSION_0_28_1/<http://argouml.tigris.org/svn/argouml/releases/VERSION_0_28_1/src>
argouml
Apply the diff
Build with "./build.sh install" or "build.bat install" (in the
argouml directory).
Newly-built project appears in "argouml\build"
Include the modules on the class path in the argouml.jar using
"./build.sh update-argouml.jar-manifest" or "build.bat
update-argouml.jar-manifest".
The update-argouml.jar-manifest target adds all available modules to the
class path. When doing releases, all modules are first built, ending up in
argouml\build\ext and then the update-argouml.jar-manifest target is run to
create the argouml.jar that is distributed. This magic is located in
build.xml on the top level, a file that you didn't see when just checking
out src and tools.
To conclude, the problem is not with running in batch mode or commands. It
is in the way you start argouml without the correct class path.
If you don't want to use this magic you could set the classpath explicitly
to java or edit the manifest file in the argouml.jar file you have created
and add ext/argouml-diagrams-sequence.jar to the Class-Path: entry.
