or `org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd'. My point is that requirement of non-empty 
`org-ditaa-jar-path' confused Florin to the degree when workarounds 
looked impossible. Notice that setting

     org-ditaa-jar-path "/usr/bin/ditaa"

still requires spreading of "flatpack-spawn ..." over 
`org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd', :java, and `org-ditaa-jar-option'. 
fortunately some of these options may be sent empty and other will not 
quote spaces, etc. Whole "flatpack-spawn ... ditaa" command can not be 
put to `org-ditaa-jar-path'

Agree. I appreciate consistency in treatment of similar cases.

I am not sure in the following idea. Perhaps a concept of "launcher" (or 
"runner") may be introduced. Launchers may be stacked. So for a jar file 
launcher is "java @:java -jar" that may be combined with "toolbox run" 
and "flatpak-spawn --host" launchers.

Since nobody has proposed a patch for ob-ditaa, I decided that making a 
workaround easier is an improvement.

      #+property: header-args:ditaa :java ...

would not affect ob-plantuml.

P.S. I am unsure what is proper balance between flexibility/convenience 
and security. A file downloaded from net should not be able to change 
executables and their options without consent from the user. 
Unfortunately attempts to suppress at least shell expansion will lead to 
more verbose configuration.
