Plantuml executable vs jarfile #18

Closed krampenschiesser closed 3 years ago

Plantuml is currently distrubted as a jarfile that needs a java installation in order to run. I cannot find any downloadable executable on their website. Where do you get the executable from and would you add support for the jarfile?

Probably too late...

Jar is the default and you can configure the path to your plantuml preferred executable in book.toml. Check the options section in README.md.

Sorry, I misunderstood the question. As far as I know there is no executable that can be downloaded directly. If you install plantuml with Chocolatey as I did, you will get an executable that wraps the Java call though,
