Hi

When I try to create an UML, I get a
java.io.IOExcpetion: dot: not found (see screenshot).
I installed plotutils, graphviz and the UMLGraph.jar as
described in the installation instructions. Since I
couldn't find any source files of lightuml, I didn't
debug further, but I assume, that some file that should
get created doesn't. I just have no clue which of the
four programs (lightuml, graphviz, dot, UMLGraph)
fails. Any suggestions/tips? are there any comand line
parameters necessary for dot?

System description: Mac OS X, Java(TM) 2 Runtime
Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-112),
Eclipse SDK Version: 3.1.2, plotutils 2.4.1, Revision
2, graphviz 2.8, UMLGraph 4.3

Thanks for your help

    It seems your Ant (used by Eclipse) isn't finding the
    installed dot-executable. Giving the dot path explicitly via
    LightUML preference pages might help.
