To build Freeplane, you can:
 
 
 
# Get the source code in one of the following ways:
 
#*  Download the freeplane_src archive from http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeplane/files/ ('''NOT''' the freeplane_srcpure archive -- this does not contain the external libraries required for the build.)
 
#*  Check out the latest source code from the git repository [https://github.com/freeplane/freeplane]
 
# Build the source code, by typing the following commands:
 
#*  <code>cd freeplane_framework/ant</code>
 
#*  <code>ant</code>  [Without parameters, this defaults to 'dist' to build all targets. See the '''Using ant''' section below for more details.]
 
 
 
After the code finishes building, target files can be found inside the <code>freeplane_framework/dist</code> directory.
 
 
 
Information on the Git repository used by Freeplane is available on the [[Git howto]] wiki page.
 
 
 
== Using ant ==
 
Building Freeplane requires that you have [http://ant.apache.org/ ant] installed on your computer.  From the ant directory you can run <code>ant TARGET</code> where <code>TARGET</code> is one of the following:
 
* build (create directory with binaries in freeplane/freeplane_framework/build)
 
* binzip (create binary zipfile in freeplane/freeplane_framework/dist)
 
* srczip (create source zipfile in freeplane/freeplane_framework/dist)
 
* installer (create windows installer in freeplane/freeplane_framework/dist)
 
* portableinstaller (create portable-windows installer in freeplane/freeplane_framework/dist)
 
* dmg4mac (create OS X DMG file in freeplane/freeplane_framework/dist)
 
 
 
Specifying no target will end up building all of the above targets.
 
  
If you wish to specify a destination build directory, you can do so by adding the <code>build</code> property as a commandline argument to ant:
+
== Requirements ==
* <code>ant -Dbuild=<destination directory> build</code> .
+
* You need java 11 or later and gradle >= 6.0
  
 +
== Download gradle ==
 +
* Download gradle: https://gradle.org/releases/
 +
* Unzip to your home directory
  
If you change some translation (.properties) files you may get an error like this:
+
== Clone the freeplane repository ==
 +
git clone https://github.com/freeplane/freeplane.git
 +
cd freeplane
  
check-translation:
+
== Run gradle ==
[check-translation]
+
* Gradle wrapper files are intentionally not committed to the sources but git ignored so that you can add them yourself if you need them.

In this case you have to format the properties-Files.

'''For building test versions:'''
 
ant -Dminor=XX
 
*-Dminor=XX adds the testversion number to the file names for creating the test version.
 
 
 
== Build files ==
 
The build is described in build.xml files:
 
 
 
  $ grep -H /freeplane.*jar freeplane/ant/ant.properties; \
 
    egrep '(<jar )|property.*name="free.*jar"' */ant/build.xml
 
  freeplane/ant/ant.properties:  freeplaneviewer.jar = ${freeplane.dist.lib}/freeplaneviewer.jar
 
  freeplane/ant/ant.properties:  freeplaneeditor.jar = ${freeplane.dist.lib}/freeplaneeditor.jar
 
  freeplane/ant/ant.properties:  freeplaneosgi.jar = ${freeplane.dist.lib}/freeplaneosgi.jar
 
  freeplane/ant/ant.properties:  freeplanemac.jar = ${freeplane.ext.lib}/freeplanemac.jar
 
  freeplane/ant/build.xml:  <property name="freeplaneant.jar" value="${workspace}/freeplane_framework/ant/lib/freeplaneant.jar" />
 
  freeplane/ant/build.xml:  <property name="freeplaneplugin.jar" value="${dist.osgi.dir}/org.freeplane.core.jar" />
 
  freeplane/ant/build.xml:  <jar jarfile="${freeplaneviewer.jar}">
 
  freeplane/ant/build.xml:  <jar jarfile="${freeplaneeditor.jar}" manifest="${manifest}">
 
  freeplane/ant/build.xml:  <jar jarfile="${freeplaneosgi.jar}">
 
  freeplane/ant/build.xml:  <jar jarfile="${freeplaneplugin.jar}">
 
  freeplane_mac/ant/build.xml:  <jar jarfile="${workspace}/freeplane/lib/freeplanemac.jar" update="false" >
 
  freeplane_plugin_bugreport/ant/build.xml:  <property name="freeplaneplugin.jar" value="${dist}/org.freeplane.plugin.bugreport.jar"/>
 
  freeplane_plugin_bugreport/ant/build.xml:  <jar jarfile="${freeplaneplugin.jar}">
 
  freeplane_plugin_help/ant/build.xml:  <property name="freeplaneplugin.jar" value="${dist}/org.freeplane.plugin.help.jar"/>
 
  freeplane_plugin_help/ant/build.xml:  <jar jarfile="${freeplaneplugin.jar}">
 
  freeplane_plugin_latex/ant/build.xml:  <property name="freeplaneplugin.jar" value="${dist}/org.freeplane.plugin.latex.jar"/>
 
  freeplane_plugin_latex/ant/build.xml:  <jar jarfile="${freeplaneplugin.jar}">
 
  freeplane_plugin_script/ant/build.xml:  <property name="freeplaneplugin.jar" value="${dist}/org.freeplane.plugin.script.jar"/>
 
  freeplane_plugin_script/ant/build.xml:  <jar jarfile="${freeplaneplugin.jar}">
 
  freeplane_plugin_svg/ant/build.xml:  <property name="freeplaneplugin.jar" value="${dist}/org.freeplane.plugin.svg.jar"/>
 
  freeplane_plugin_svg/ant/build.xml:  <jar jarfile="${freeplaneplugin.jar}">
 
 
 
The additional project <tt>freeplane_framework</tt>, have a higher level scope; the latter is the centralized entry into the build system to build the whole application:
 
 
 
  $ cd freeplane_framework/ant
 
  $ ant build dist
