From Freeplane - free mind mapping and knowledge management software

This page will provide detailed information about developing Freeplane add-ons.

Add-ons are installed in the Freeplane user directory (see Tools->Open user directory). An add-on is a package of some or all of these features, which can be installed at once.

Add-ons may contain any number of scripts and Zip files to be unpacked in the Freeplane user directory. Combinations are especially interesting since this enables you to package scripts with required libraries/JARs/class files. So it's possible to bundle some Groovy scripts with the JFreechart library - so there's no need to download and install the JFreechart libraries anymore.

Since plugins may also be installed into the Freeplane user directory, add-ons may even provide plugins (such as the Scripting or Formula plugin you know).

Script and add-ons developers should first install the Developer Tools from the Add-ons page. It provides scripts that relieves you from most of the tedious work.
