freemind-refined

As of Feb 2021, original FreeMind is still useful and works good on latest Java. However it looks there is no active development.

Version

This is FreeMind 1.0.1. Latest 1.1.0 beta versions use modifiled mindmap file format but I want to keep compatibility with existing mindmap files.

Goals

  • Create native self-sufficient installers including latest JRE (jpackage)
  • Update third-party libraries to latest versions as possible
  • Omit functionality which looks unused, obsolete, unnecessary (database, jabber, maps etc.)
  • Maybe trivial refactoring if needed
  • Maybe fix trivial issues if found

Non-goals

  • Maintain original code
  • Fix issues in original code
  • Add new features
