Alexander,

Thanks for the tip. It looks like the problem is it is not recognizing java as a command. Here is what it says:

‘java? is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

The batch file currently is composed of the following text:

@echo on
set freeplanedir=%~dp0
set xargs=init.xargs
set defines= “-Dorg.freeplane.param1=%1” “-Dorg.freeplane.param2=%2” “-Dorg.freeplane.param3=%3” “-Dorg.freeplane.param4=%4”
set resdir=”-Dorg.freeplane.globalresourcedir=%freeplanedir%resources/”
@echo on
java -Xmx512m “-Dorg.knopflerfish.framework.bundlestorage=memory” “-Dorg.knopflerfish.gosg.jars=reference:file:%freeplanedir%core/” %resdir% %defines% -jar “%freeplanedir%framework.jar” -xargs “%freeplanedir%props.xargs” -xargs “%freeplanedir%%xargs%”

Any idea how I might be able to edit it to get it to properly find java?

Thank you!

Steve

I expect that substituting java for “C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe” (or whatever your path to java.exe is) should do the trick, but it’s only a workaround.

There is clearly an issue with the Java installation. Normally, typing “java version” in a DOS window in any directory is the way to test for Java. I assume that this does not work in your case, because the java path has not been set (or has been deleted).

My suggestion would be to uninstall/reinstall Java.

Alexander and Jerome,

Thank you for your heroic efforts to help me get Freeplane running. Alexander, I just tried uninstalling and re-installing Java, and I tried changing the .bat file to include the path to Java… neither worked.

I am now officially giving up. Maybe a future version will fix whatever it is that’s creating the problem.

Thanks, again!

Steve

Do try X-Mind as well, which is astonishingly accomplished (although possibly overkill for those who aren’t thrilled by MindManager). Oh, and it’s free and open-source, although X-Mind Pro looks pretty cool, too. You’ll find it at:

I’ve been using FreePlane preview versions for a few months. Find the preview version here: http://freeplane.sourceforge.net/preview/
The preview versions are very stable and offer MANY more features than the release version. I highly recommend trying this application.

I now use it as one of my primary data-sorting and categorizing tool.
Recently I started using it to take notes when I read books- the visual map and train-of-thought becomes clearer with a mind-map and I’m able to review major ideas in a book very quickly.

Freeplane will soon be the foundation for a plugin made by open source SciPlore team that integrates mind mapping with reference and pdf management
http://sciplore.org/software/sciplore_mindmapping/

I’m impressed with this application and even more impressed by the speed at which it is developing. New versions are released every few weeks.
