Freemind a java program for creating and viewing mindmaps.
freemind [no_options]
This manual page documents briefly the freemind command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation as a mindmap (see Help menu in FreeMind).
freemind is a program that allows to create and view so-called mindmaps, as well as export them to HTML or different image formats. It also has a plugin concept to extend its functionality.
This program does not have any option. Just start it!
If this environment variable is set, freemind gives more information on how it finds its different elements, as well as some other information.
Default value for the java virtual machine (the java command).
If $JAVACMD is not set, the java virtual machine is searched under $JAVA_BINDIR/java.
If $JAVACMD and $JAVA_BINDIR are not set, the java virtual machine is searched under $JAVA_HOME/bin/java.
If all $JAVA... environment variables fail, the java virtual machine command (java) is searched in the $PATH (with which).
The $CLASSPATH variable also lets one specify additional jars, which is good, if you want to add a new Look&Feel jar (the motif one is so ugly...). Alternatively, the content of $ADD_JARS will be prepended to $CLASSPATH.
Directory where FreeMind searches for its plugins and libraries
freemind tries to read its environment variables from /etc/freemind/freemindrc and ~/.freemind/freemindrc, so that specific settings are possible at machine and user level.
If all searches through environment variables fail, the java virtual machine is expected to be /usr/bin/java; if not, freemind exits with an error.
