Eclipse PlantUML view states "Cannot find style sysmic" in red text

asked Sep 17, 2025 in Question / help by Phil

I'm new to Eclipse. I have followed the instructions in the ReadME but when I select show view PlantUML I get a message this is an old version and a "Cannot find style sysmic". It was working until it came up with the error that it was 1229 days old, so I updated, and still get the error.

But now have in green on black image:

PlantUML 1.2024.5

<b>This version of PlantUML is 479 days old, so you should

<b>consider upgrading from https://plantUML.com/download

[From string (line 2) ]

@startuml

skin sysmic

Cannot find style sysmic

Preferences state PlantUML installation seems OK, File generation OK. Help!
