What is the status of ob-ditaa?

[Jarmo Hurri]

Greetings.

I just tried to export an org file with bunch of ditaa images and got
the infamous error:

Error: Unable to initialize main class org.stathissideris.ascii2image.core.CommandLineConverter
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/cli/ParseException

This is under Fedora 40 with org 9.6.15. I do have ditaa.jar, but from
the looks of the shell script /usr/bin/ditaa that runs the jar it needs
to be run differently than what ob-ditaa does at the moment.

In the past I think this was solved by downloading a contrib version of
ditaa.jar. Now I can not find this under org contrib.

https://github.com/emacsmirror/org-contrib

Is there a working solution?

All the best,

Jarmo

ditaa works for me, using Org mode version 9.8-pre
(release_9.7.14-156-g1c9873). Would you like me to email you my version
of ditaa.jar? I'm on Debian 9.13 (it's old but it works).

Best wishes,
