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.
