CompilePrograms > try to use XMind (no compiling needed at first)

Looking for a mind-mapping free-software, I tried Freemind and semantik (replacement for kdissert). I did not try Freeplane a fork of Freemind.

XMind described at [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMIND XMind wikipedia page]] has a libre software license - dual Eclipse Public License v1.0 (EPL) + GNU Lesser General Public License v3 (LGPL)- and another one for commercial purpose (and perhaps functionalities, did not even look), well to be fair it's quite annoying: sign-in option, missing menus with (pro) options (maybe I should recompile it to take advantage of it?, LGPL being a guarantee to access source code and distribute it).

===Install XMind from binary===
As it is a Java program, there's a portable version available for download.
See http://code.google.com/p/xmind3/ and http://www.xmind.net/downloads/ to download the portable version or see a direct mirror for [[http://download.tuxfamily.org/cooker/mageia/doc/xmind-portable-3.2.0.201009142023.zip xmind-portable-3.2.0.201009142023.zip]] as mirrors do not seem reliable (403 errors)

unzip the dowloaded file in a dedicated directory, go into it, then:
##cd XMind_Linux_64bit/## # as I'm using x86_64
##./xmind## # the sign-in is not compulsory just skip it

===Compile from source===
any experimented contributor in Java/Eclipse is welcomed to package this software

===Use XMind===
save .xmind file, use Menu / File / export / image PNG to provide nice graphics :)

TODO:
~- check how Notes can be added and how they are rendered when producing (exporting) an HTML page for example
~- find how to import new "Marqueurs" in SVG, from htttp://openclipart.org for example
