Yes, it does. ob-plantuml already migrated to allow a regular command,
but ob-ditaa still only enables using the jar directly.

That is something which would be nice to fix — and ob-plantuml should
show the path forward.

If you do the C-h v org-ditaa-jar-option command, you should normally
have a link to ob-ditaa.el in your help buffer. You can click that to
get the source.
