plantuml.jarArgs only works with absolute path

Hi,

many thanks for this great plugin.

However, I seem to be unable to get my project specific plantuml.config into the plugins preview renderer without using an absolute path.

The example says I should use { "settings": { "plantuml.jarArgs":[ "-config", "plantuml.config" ] } }

But where should the file then be located?

I tried

• copying the file to the workspace root
• copying the file to the diagram source folder

and some even more obscure paths. But all I get is a PathNotFoundException

Error found in diagram Firmware Update
Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: plantuml.config (No such file or directory)

Might this be related to this comment?

Ultimately, I think, it would be nice, if we could use ${workspaceFolder} in workspace settings as well as the within plantuml config file itself to reference includes within the projects directory structure.

!include ${workspaceFolder}/includes/macros.wsd
!include ${workspaceFolder}/includes/skinparams.wsd

Since the setting is named as jarArgs, they are processed by plantuml.jar. Except the CWD, anything I do is excess, even dangerous (to other args other than -config). It’s better plantuml.jar could implement these logic.

Please disregard the above - oddly enough, restarting VSCode and re-installing the plugin seemed to have solved the issue
