About Freemind

FreeMind is a premier free mind-mapping software written in Java. It is licensed under the GPL and is very easy to use. It is available for almost all operating systems. Freemind's mind maps use a .mm file extension.

About the Freemind Browser (Applet)

The Freemind Browser is a Java Applet that can be placed in web pages to display a Freemind Mindmap.

Adding the Module

In your Google Personalized Page, click on 'Add Content' and add the module by URL: http://rolandog.googlepages.com/freemind.xml. Or, click this button:

Requirements

Hosting

This module requires two files, freemindbrowser.jar and a *.mm file (for example, Polietileno.mm). Both files need to be in the same domain name. The java object won't work if they're on separate domain names.

You can upload the .jar file and your .mm files to your site or to your Google Pages account. If you use Google Pages, you can use http://rolandog.googlepages.com/freemindbrowser.jar to avoid having a lot of identical .jar files.

If you don't have a place to store your files you may use The File Hut, since they allow direct hotlinking of files. If you decide to use The File Hut for hosting, you can use http://thefilehut.com/userfiles/rolandog/freemindbrowser.jar as your .jar file.

Java

This Google Gadget requires you to have at least the Java Runtime Environment v.1.4.

Usage

Place the .jar file's URL in the first input field, and the .mm file's URL in the second input field. Then click Add. You can add multiple mind maps and also delete them. Clicking on the 'edit' section will allow you to establish a 'default' value for your .jar and .mm file URLs. That section also lets you set the height of each object that is created (use an integer, something like 300).

Test Drive

I placed the Gadget below but inside Google Pages, it is only able to be placed in a fixed dimension . In the Google Homepage, the Gadget adjusts its size to fit the content. Also, you can set or override the width of the objects (wider than 100%). The space allocated below allows for about two small-sized applets to fit inside.
