XMindAPI
This small project contains a few samples using the XMind APIs to generate XMind files. As I integrated XMind support into other tools, I kept needing to make a simple sample to figure out how some feature worked. I decided to start collecting them for others to use.
Please see the API documentation on the Xmind wiki for information about how to use the API. I don't work on the team creating this wonderful project, I'm just a user.
Note that this requires the actual XMind jars to work. I have included two jars in the lib directory, since the XMind team does not seem to publish their jars to a public repository.
- org.xmind.core_3.6.1.jar
- org.xmind.ui.mindmap_3.6.1.jar
Most features only need the core jar. The ui jar is only needed if you are manipulating styles.

How To Build
These samples include a gradle build file and wrapper. Use the provided gradlew file to create a project for your IDE or a command line runner for the samples. You will need to have a Java 8 SDK installed and your JAVA_HOME environment variable set.
Run "gradlew idea" to generate a project for IntelliJ Idea Run "gradlew eclipse" to generate a project for Eclipse.
Run "gradlew installDist" to build a runnable sample in the build/install/xmindapi directory. From that directory you may run the examples using bin/xmindapi.
Running
The launcher takes a parameter specifying the sample to run. If you provide no parameters, it displays the samples available.
>bin\xmindapi
Missing argument. Please specify a sample to run.
