Effectively, I am not too lucky with the Open-JDK on one of my notebook. I must kill the ibus daemon (I learn Japanese), else I lose keyboard input in the Freemind window. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810764 On the same machine, I tried freeplane beta 1.2, and the CPU cycle rose to 100%. I don't know if the proprietary Java JRE would fix these issues?

Wouldn't be better to orphan FM, and package FP instead? There must be good reasons if this fork has happened. When I look at the FM bugs & the feature requests on sourceforge, there is little feedback, for what I could read. It's only a question. I don't know the about the FM dev. team. I have only tried both applications, I read both wiki, and I read the FP user feedback, it looks overly good. > The only way freeplane is coming to fedora is that someone steps up > and does the required packaging work.

I have looked at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package. It's above my competence. As someone else pointed out in another reply, there is a FP rpm package for OpenSuse. Are the OpenSuse packages compatible with Fedora? -- nomnex <nomnex@xxxxxxxxx> Freenode: nomnex Registered Linux user #505281.
