Use Environment variable for !include directive path

Question

Hi,

Team shares same plantuml files but in differents paths for each environement...

So in order to keep same version of plantuml file identical fior all, we would like to have the capability to use windows Env. variable in !include path like this (for example)

@startuml
scale 600*400
!include %PLANTUML_HOME%\file.txt
@enduml

BR,

David

The problem with this Solution is that, with the Word add-in (or Eclipse ?), there is no way to customize the command line as proposed :(

Ok, you can download a beta here :
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13064071/plantuml.jar

With this beta, you can have:

@startuml
!include %windir%/test1.txt
Bob -> Alice : hello
@enduml

(pay attention to restart Eclipse/Word after defining the environment variable)

We have implemented that also, even if it's not your need:
@startuml
!define PLANTUML_HOME c:/foo
!include PLANTUML_HOME/test1.txt
Bob -> Alice : hello
@enduml

Finally, I've rebooted my PC.
... And the beta is now working from Word.
Perfect!

Thanks a lot ;)
