Running native image on windows

Question

I downloaded the plantuml-headless-win-amd64-1.2025.1.zip and extracted the files from it in the local bin  directory.
I have a small  plantuml file (aa.pu):

@startuml
Alice -> Bob : Hello
@enduml

and ran bin\plantuml-headless.exe -help which showed met the normal (java) help information.
When running bin\plantuml-headless.exe -tpng -o aa.png aa.pu  I got a big stack trace with at the top:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/util/HashMap
        at org.graalvm.nativeimage.builder/com.oracle.svm.core.jni.functions.JNIFunctions.FindClass(JNIFunctions.java:359)
        at java.desktop@21.0.6/sun.awt.Win32FontManager.populateFontFileNameMap0(Native Method)

So it might be a lack in my knowledge or  that the, windows, native image is incomplete.

• What did I do wrong?

Comments

In the mean time I got a little further when trying the full version native image like:

bin\plantuml-full.exe -Djava.awt.headless=true -tpng -o aa.png aa.pu

this gave a correct output image but the file was in a directory: aa.png\aa.png and it also produced a stack trace:

I also tried the latest snapshot (snapshot - Native Image (~v1.2025.2beta3)) but with the same result.

So looks like here are also some problems.
