NAME

       freemind — A Java program for creating and viewing mindmaps.

SYNOPSIS

       freemind [no_options]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       This program does not have any option. Just start it!

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       DEBUG     If   this environment variable is set, freemind gives more information on how it
                 finds its different elements, as well as some other information.

       JAVACMD   Default value for the java virtual machine (the java command).

       JAVA_BINDIR
                 If  $JAVACMD  is  not  set,  the  java  virtual  machine   is   searched   under
                 $JAVA_BINDIR/java.

       JAVA_HOME If  $JAVACMD  and $JAVA_BINDIR are not set, the java virtual machine is searched
                 under $JAVA_HOME/bin/java.

       PATH      If all $JAVA... environment variables fail, the  java  virtual  machine  command
                 (java) is searched in the $PATH (with which).

       CLASSPATH        ADD_JARS
                 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.

       FREEMIND_BASE_DIR
                 Directory where FreeMind searches for its plugins and libraries

FILES

       /etc/freemind/freemindrc        ~/.freemind/freemindrc
                 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.

       /usr/bin/java
                 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.
