Build-time dependencies

  • all of the dependencies above are build-deps too
  • junit, ant, jdk
  • 1.3.x: jflex for compiling latex.flex (LaTeX syntax highlighting for JSyntaxPane)
    • done: LaTeXLexer.java must not be included in freeplane_srcpure-1.3.x.tar.gz, it must be built from latex.flex at package build time)

Miscellaneous

  • of course mac stuff can (and must) not be built
  • freeplane_plugin_uispec4j/ can be ignored
  • freeplane_plugin_help/ is no longer needed, can be ignored
  • jortho.jar is built from JOrtho_0.4_freeplane/

Changes for 1.3.x

  • launch4j (should be in 1.2.23 already??)
  • latest JSyntaxPane (..r156) required (LaTeX syntax highlighting)
    • is ...r156 correctly pulled as a dependencies (as opposed to r148!)
  • new plugin "Openmaps integration", new dependency JMapViewer
  • new command line option -U (include in man page!)
    • also mention latex in core and openmaps integration in 1.3.x manpage
    • bump up version in man-page!
  • make sure that srcpure does not contain *.class, *.exe, *.dll, ...
  • build LaTeXLexer.java before build target runs
