Hello!

You need a current PlantUML version. Accordingly to the readme, try this configuration in your gradle build script (as a workaround):


buildscript {
    dependencies {
        // Load plugin and exclude embedded plant-uml
        classpath('com.cosminpolifronie.gradle:gradle-plantuml-plugin:1.6.0') {
            exclude group: 'net.sourceforge.plantuml', module: 'plantuml'
        }
        // Use our own plantUML, because we need this version to manage the c4-model skin
        classpath files('libs/plantuml.1.2021.11.jar')
    }
}

plugins {
    id 'java'
}
// Use our composed plugin
apply plugin: 'com.cosminpolifronie.gradle.plantuml'

Please add the latest plantuml JAR to your libs path.
