I think you'd be better off using a Posix path for org-plantuml-jar-path so that (file-exists-p org-plantuml-jar-path) will find the file. Then, since java is a Windows program, you'd have to patch the elisp sources to convert the Posix path to a Windows path (via 'cygpath -w') in the call to java. I can probably do this at some point and send the patch upstream, but I'm busy with other things at the moment and won't be able to get to it for a while. Ken
