Org plus contrib (and ditaa.jar)

Org plus contrib (and ditaa.jar)

[Phil Regier]

An issue I've repeatedly encountered when trying to use Babel with ditaa is that ditaa.jar never seems to be available despite a few claims in the documentation that it is distributed with Org.  Since I'm already trying to find the source of my octave issues from my previous post, I thought I may have installed Org improperly and decided to wipe out my .emacs.d and start over.

I see that now Org has its own elpa repository (so far, so good), so I added it as my second (well, first in customize) package-archives entry after removing my .emacs.d directory to run my 24.3.1 build from my home directory (with .emacs modified only using Custom, and only containing standard org- and package- settings).  I refreshed the package list, and installed the "org-plus-contrib".  Everything seemed successful (Total of 161 files compiled, 1 failed, 4 skipped); I got some errors in the install output buffer, but nothing mentioning ditaa explicitly except "Compiling ... ob-ditaa.el".

So now when I exit Emacs I expect the following command to produce output:

find ~/.emacs.d/ -name ditaa.jar

but it still does not.  Lowering my expectations slightly, I hope for output from the following:

find ~/.emacs.d/ -name contrib

but still nothing.

I assume I am installing Org improperly somehow, despite the fact that my version shows correctly:

Org-mode version 8.2.5h (8.2.5h-32-g9639ed-elpaplus @ /home/pregier/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20140310/)

Am I missing something obvious?

I have no idea whether it is included in the elpa distribution or
not.  If you track the git version, it is most definitely there under
.../contrib/scripts/ditaa.jar.

Just in case this helps!

This actually does help; thanks!  I had tried copying ditaa.jar from ditaa SVN, but that still did not work; copying from Org git, however, works like a charm.  Not sure why the first method failed, but I like this approach better anyway, so I'm happy.

Thanks again!

Phil
