The approach I took after using freemind was to write a new plugin called 'MindTypes' that gave freemind the ability to assign a type to each node (if you want to) and give context sensitive menues based on the node type. Then you can define actions based on the node types. You can create java code fragments to do useful stuff that are activated via the context menues. It now allows for OSGI plugins to extend the library of actions. By way of a use case: I can can create a node in Freemind Set it...

i have a plugin that adds all sorts of document generation abilities, ie output to .rtf, .html, .java, .php, .sql or .csv if you like.

woo hoo! OSGI plugins work now! to be clear, they work from the plugin I wrote called MindTypes. The plugin was written to make writing plugins far easier - and it does just that. I have to say it is* pretty cool to now just be able to drop a Jar file in the right directory and have it all work.

I now have a plugin that lets me use OSGi plugins in freemind :) Ok, so its an OSGi version of the plugin architecture i was already using, but still its pretty neet! I am excited! the fact that I am posting this on thanksgiving clearly demonstrates that I need to get out more.

This is called "word wrap" its a feature, not a bug. If you examine the text, there are no new lines inserted in the text (except the ones you put in) you might want to try resizing the "box"

maybe 13 years ago, an accomplice and my self where looking at knowledge management and we cam across freemind and thought it would be a good platform to mess around with. As a result we have a plugin that lets you put schemata on mind maps, context sensitive menus, more actions on node and its own plugin system that makes writing extensions for the plugin (not for freemind) stupid easy. It has a document generator that we use to write entire java class files, generate wiki text for documentation...

I have a plugin i wrote for freemind and have ported it over to rev 1.0.x It makes writing plugins a trivial exercise, i find it to be a great way to extend freemind. Its likely it may be somthing useful to you. I am now making it use OSGi plugins..... Leg me know if you want to talk further On another note, I have NO desire to use freeplane or deveop anything for it.
-
I just use freemind to generate the code, it puts it in the clipboard and I pop it into eclipse. (yes, I have a plugin that writes the code)
-
If you are that worried, just download it and recompile it yourself.
-
link does not work
-
the Source code is freely available (last time i checked) so you can customize it to your hearts content.
-
well the file is an xml file so you could print it out and post it that way, if you are talking about email, again its an xml file that appears to be 7-bit clean so emailing it should not be a problem

I have freemind CREATING web sites (and code) but creating a web site? What do you want to do that for?

IanGr: I feel your pain! I wrote a plugin for freemind some time ago that now that the internals of freemind have changed quite a bit, it was 'a bit painful'. The plugin i wrote generates both styled documents and unstyled documents (and a whole lot more) so If i need a particular style i use freemind to capture the content and its logical structure then i use a plugin to apply the style i want. Thats how i worked around that issue.
-
found a work around The plug in extends PermanentNodeHoodAdapter. the createViewer method gets a NodeView thats a subclass of JComponent so you can add a MouseListener to it. from that I can make the popup JMenue. A little clunky and not quite as easy as before but it works none the less

Api was changed, my plugin no longer works

A number of years ago, I created a plugin for freemind that completely changed the way I used it. I use it to write code, access databases, generate styled documents (readable by word), websites and all sorts of fun things. It ran/runs on a very old version of freemind. I now want to update it for a current version of freemind and as a result I need to be able to compile it under eclipse. As of late I'm not quite sure how to compile it under win 7/jdk 8/ eclipse 4. Any help or pointers to documentation...

Charles, I've been using freemind for a long time, I have a plugin that helps me write plugins :) I use it to write program code, generate websites and a lot of other fun things. Its for a old version, but I can tell you it opens a lot* more possibilities than most imagine for mindmaps in general. I suspect free mind could help you do a lot of realy neat things.
