Ok, I figured that would be the response.

Doesn't this abuse the `java' header argument, which is intended to pass
arguments to the java runtime?

I think that it would be best to implement the change to mirror that
done in ob-plantuml, as Ihor suggested earlier. But, ob-plantuml uses a
customization switch: `org-plantuml-exec-mode'. Its documentation reads:

  Method to use for PlantUML diagram generation.
  `jar' means to use java together with the JAR.
  The JAR can be configured via `org-plantuml-jar-path'.
  
  `plantuml' means to use the PlantUML executable.
  The executable can be configured via `org-plantuml-executable-path'.
  You can also configure extra arguments via
  `org-plantuml-executable-args'.[fn:1] 

My reading of the documentation and ob-plantuml.el is that it is not
possible to use the `java' header argument in the way you propose for
ob-ditaa.el.

Leo

[fn:1] (Aside: `org-plantuml-executable-args' should be `org-plantuml-args';
Ihor missed it when he made the change in commit b5f0efc049).
