packaging freemind, anyone interested?

[Till Maas]

Hiyas,

I want to ask if anyone here is interested in packaging freemind 
(http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page). I do not know 
whether or not it does run with fedora's free java but I am missing it from 
the time before I used fedora. This is why I want to ask if anyone here would 
be so kind and package it for fedora. It is a free mind-mapping software that 
in my eyes is the best free mind-mapping software currently available.

Regards,
Till

Hi!

Last time I checked (classpath cvs of a couple of days ago, with cacao
and jamvm), it did not worked well (the application was quite
unisable).. It may be a problem of the current cvs though, as it seem to
introduce some regressions (I still have to check carefully but even
flickrbackup does not run anymore).

I would suggest to give a look at xebece
(http://xebece.sourceforge.net/), also :)

Ciao,
Mario

You probably need this patch that restores HTML support in free swing
widgets:

2006-09-01  Roman Kennke  <kennke(a)aicas.com&gt;

        PR 28922
        * javax/swing/plaf/basic/BasicHTML.java
        (HTMLRootView.getAttributes): Overridden to return null.
        (HTMLRootView.getElement): Overridden to return the view's
        element.

Freemind does startup and run with the gcj included in FC6t3 (out any
day now). http://gnu.wildebeest.org/diary/index.php?p=160
But it is not 100% there yet, some of the HTML support is being worked
on atm.

Cheers,

Mark
