Setting up a FreeMind project under Eclipse

Please consider reading the guides above first.

You download FreeMind to ~/src/freemind say. Then, you have to compile FreeMind on command line using "ant dist". After that you open a new project with working directory ~/src you should find the following settings:

• The binaries are stored into ~/src/bin/classes.
• You have two source folders.
• All jars you find in ~/src/freemind are added to the project.

Then finish the project settings and there should be no errors in the project. You can run FreeMind starting the class freemind.main.FreeMindStarter.
