An example from my machine that works:

aklaver(at)tito:~/bin> java -jar schemaSpy_5.0.0.jar -t pgsql -s public -u
postgres -db production -host localhost -dp
/home/aklaver/bin/postgresql-9.4.1212.jre6.jar -o s_spy

Using database properties:
[schemaSpy_5.0.0.jar]/net/sourceforge/schemaspy/dbTypes/pgsql.properties
Gathering schema
details........................................................................(2sec)
Writing/graphing summary..............(3sec)
Writing/diagramming
details.....................................................................(14sec)
Wrote relationship details of 69 tables/views to directory 's_spy' in 20
seconds.
View the results by opening s_spy/index.html
