Perfect! Thank you for pointing that out.

I downloaded that, installed java-11-openjdk from the Fedora repos and
tried the standard example:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+begin_src ditaa :file example.svg :results file drawer
    +--------+   +-------+    +-------+
    |        | --+ ditaa +--> |       |
    |  Text  |   +-------+    |diagram|
    |Document|   |!magic!|    |       |
    |     {d}|   |       |    |       |
    +---+----+   +-------+    +-------+
        :                         ^
        |       Lots of work      |
        +-------------------------+
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
:results:
[[file:example.svg]]
:end:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It worked perfectly on Fedora 34.

Thanks!
