#!/bin/bash
java -jar ~/jar/plantuml.jar "$@"Hi

what is the procedure to suggest programs for automatic configuration on
reconfigure?

I am using plantuml (http://plantuml.sourceforge.net/index.html) quite a
lot, and I think it would be quite nice to have it automatically detected
and configured on reconfigure.

What is plantuml (from the wikpediai page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlantUML):

#############################
"PlantUML is an open-source UML tool that allows to generate UML diagrams
from a textual description. It is used to draw UML diagrams but is not a
modeling tool itself. It does not prevent inconsistent diagrams from being
created and requires the developer of the diagram content to understand UML
and create proper UML content.
To create the UML diagrams, PlantUML has a meta-language defined that allows
the diagram creator to describe the UML as a series of text statements which
the graphics engine translates into standard UML notation. The graphics
engine is written in Java and is distributed in both JAR and source code
form. The 3rd-party package Graphviz is used for the graphics layout.
Resulting diagrams can be output in PNG, SVG, EPS and ASCII Art."

In the "FORMATS" section I have additionally

\format "plantuml" "plantuml" "plantuml" "" "rsvg-view" "emacsclient"
"vector"
\format "svg" "svg" "SVG" "" "auto" "auto" "vector"

IIn the "CONVERTERS" section I have additionally:

\converter "svg" "ps" "rsvg-convert -f ps -o $$o $$i" ""
\converter "plantuml" "svg" "plantuml $$i -ofile $$o -tsvg" ""
\converter "svg" "pdf2" "rsvg-convert -f pdf -o $$o $$i" ""
\converter "plantuml" "ps" "plantuml $$i -ofile $$o -teps" ""
\converter "plantuml" "png" "plantuml $$i -ofile $$o" ""

although I think that svg is already included automatically (and ctually not
needed for plantuml)?

Additionally, I have a script file named plantuml in my bin folder:

#!/bin/bash
java -jar ~/jar/plantuml.jar "$@"

I think plantuml would be a great addition in the toolbox for LyX.

Cheers,

Rainer
