Running in background - disable di=splay of the icon

Question

Hi

maybe it is a java issue - would it be possible to add an option, that the icon / window of Java is not displayed when running plantuml? I have a document which generates many plantuml files, and it is extremely difficult to work somewhere else while compiling as the window from Java is regularly activated.

Thanks,

Rainer

Which version of PlantUML are you using ?

There was an old issue (detail http://forum.plantuml.net/5403/popup-icon-disrupts-gui-use-grabbing-keyboard-window-focus ) but it should be fixed now.

Maybe you should also try -Djava.awt.headless=true option

Your newest beta.

I looked at the thread and added "-Djava.awt.headless=true -splash:no" as default options - working now - thanks.

By the way: I have at https://github.com/rkrug/plantuml a package written to use plantuml from R.

You can either supply the plantuml code or use it to document your R objects as class diagrams. It is in beta, but I am using it in production. So please feel free to add it to your section of programs supporting plantuml. Would you need any further info about the package?
