Hello everyone,
this might be a little OT, but I'm having a hard time to get ditaa to
run properly. The org-mode part works, it's the Java part that's giving
me trouble, I'm getting loads of "Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.misc stuff goes here" errors, and I have no Java experience
whatsoever.
I'm on a windoze XP box, and I was wondering if a fellow user might be
willing to share his/her set-up.
Thanks and Cheers
Markus

Interesting. I use Linux but have a Win XP box at work and set up Org-mode
for a co-worker so that I would know how to set it up on Windows for him. I
didn't have any trouble, actually.
I just put:
(setq org-ditaa-jar-path "C:/Program
Files/emacs23/org.git/contrib/scripts/ditaa.jar")
and
(org-babel-do-load-languages
'org-babel-load-languages
'((ditaa . t)))
in init.el and all worked fine. One thing you might try is running ditaa
right from the command line. I haven't done this on Windows, but the Linux
command would be:
Make the file "ditaa.txt" and copy this into it (from
http://ditaa.sourceforge.net/):
+--------+ +-------+ +-------+
| | --+ ditaa +--> | |
| Text | +-------+ |diagram|
|Document| |!magic!| | |
| {d}| | | | |
+---+----+ +-------+ +-------+
: ^
| Lots of work |
+-------------------------+
Save the file and run "java -jar /path/to/ditaa.jar ditaa.txt" and see what
happens.
If it works, something's goofed with the org-mode setup. If it doesn't work,
something else is goofy.
Sorry I can't help more!

Hi Markus,
does `org-ditaa-jar-path' have the correct value?
You can find out this way:
M-: org-ditaa-jar-path RET
Can you execute
java -jar c:\path\to\ditaa.jar --help
on the command line using the value of that variable?
If not, I suspect you use an outdated version of Org mode and need to
set `org-ditaa-jar-path' to the correct value yourself. Nowadays this
variable is set to the correct value automatically and ditaa.jar comes
with the development version of Org mode.

Doing this gives the following error:

Is this a java problem?

OK, it's a Java problem.
The packages java.util.zip and java.util.jar come with your Java
installation. Jave couldn't access *.jar packages ortherwise.
Seems your Java is outdated. An update/re-install will help.

Oh - or could the spaces in the path trigger that problem?
You could try to put ditaa.jar to
C:\ditaa.jar
and retry.
That would move the error to Org-mode.

I did this, and now I get:
C:\>java -jar ditaa.jar --help

I guess you're still using Java 1.4 and some of the current ditaa
components require at least java 5 (v. 1.5....).

Which is what I use here (java version "1.6.0_21")
But I guess
java -version
will show an elder version.

Markus,
Can you check your CLASSPATH environment variable? Mine is (not sure if it's
correct, but it works...):
.;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\ext\QTJava.zip
Do you have one set?
Is this any help?
http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/environment/paths.html
This is quite odd and makes me wonder if it's Java related. Like a corrupt
installation somehow.

Unset this variable and try again. The default CLASSPATH is simply ".",
but you don't need to set the environment variable then.
http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/classpath.html
BTW, you can run 'java -verbose' to get more output that may show you
where the problem really is (like looking for files in the wrong place
or something like that).

Hi everyone,
once this is resolved, I believe this would be important to be added
to the FAQ.
Can someone please take care of this?
Thanks!

The problem has not been solved, but I have confirmed that the cause is
*NOT* related to org-mode, so there's no need for a FAQ entry :)
Thanks to all the folks who tried to help, on the list and off the list.
Cheers
Markus
PS: Here's a quick summary for those interested:
The root of all evil is *NOT* org-mode, but rather the fact that my OS
(windoze XP) insists on finding an outdated Java version (1.4). I have
installed the Java 1.6 runtime environment, and as far as I can tell, all
my environment variables contain only pointers to this installation, yet
java -version shows 1.4.2_03.
I just figured out that this old installation is connected to another
piece of software, which is annoying as hell in itself.

That should be fixable by removing the part of the %PATH% environment
variable that contains the 1.4.2 java executable. Once you know where
that is, it should suggest itself which software is responsible for this.

You confirmed this or is this just a guess? I'd run the "Software"
panel and check if the old JRE is still listed there, if yes that's a
way to do a clean uninstall. If not you can still use the Java control
panel from the new JRE and disable the old one (it should find and list
all JRE on your computer if you let it do a search). I don't think this
takes care of the %PATH%, which can most likely be (un)set from the
"System" control panel.

I removed the old Java version from %PATH%, and now java -version gives
the correct version (1.6.0_21).
I can use ditaa on the command line:
H:\org\test>java -jar ditaa.jar ditaa_test.txt
DiTAA version 0.8, Copyright (C) 2004--2009 Efstathios Sideris
Running with options:
Reading file: ditaa_test.txt
Locale: en_US
Dialog.bold
Rendering to file: ditaa_test_4.png
Done in 0sec
But when I try to run the same ditaa code from within org-mode using
babel, I get error messages:
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/stathissideris/ascii2image/core/CommandLineConverter (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0)

Here's my source:

|

#+end_src

And my babel set up from my .emacs:
(setq org-ditaa-jar-path "~/.emacs.d/org-mode/contrib/scripts/ditaa.jar")
(add-hook 'org-babel-after-execute-hook 'org-display-inline-images)
(org-babel-do-load-languages
'org-babel-load-languages
'((emacs-lisp . t)
(ditaa . t)))
Am I still missing something here?
Thanks and Cheers
Markus

Good.

Sure, you've only changed the %PATH% in the cmd window, all other
processes still see the old value. You need to remove it from the
%PATH% on system level, then it should also work from Emacs. If you
customize exec-path in Emacs you might be able to remove the wrong path
there (if you try, just save it "for this session only"), but you should
really remove the old JRE completely if only for security reasons.

Actually, I did change the system %PATH% through the control panel and
environment variables, but I did not re-start emacs. After doing that,
everything works fine :)
Oh, and I'd *love* to remove the old JRE, but that's part of another
software installation (I'm working in a company), and unfortunately, I
can't just wipe that thing off my hard drive.
Anyway, issue solved :)
Thanks to all and Cheers!!

this might be a little OT, but I'm having a hard time to get ditaa to run
properly. The org-mode part works, it's the Java part that's giving me
trouble, I'm getting loads of "Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.misc stuff goes here" errors, and I have no Java experience
whatsoever.
I experienced similar problems with the latest ditaa version (0.9) from
sourceforge but not with version 0.8 (no idea why). So you might give that
version a try.
HTH
