Dear users,

you can download and install the .deb version that upstream provides:
- https://sourceforge.net/projects/freeplane/
- select "Files"
- select "freeplane stable"
- select freeplane_1.11.11~upstream-1_all.deb
- install with "sudo apt install /path/to/freeplane_1.11.11~upstream-1_all.deb"

(the file name of the stable version may change over time!)

Note this bug related to ibus: https://github.com/freeplane/freeplane/issues/1069

You can also, as the reporter noted, switch to an old JRE (mind security
issues though!), either through JAVA_CMD or FREEPLANE_JAVA_HOME.

I cannot package freeplane-1.11.x for Debian because it requires
gradle >= 7.x.

I am discussing with the debian-java team whether to remove freeplane
from Debian/Ubuntu for security reasons (old JRE versions...), unless
you disagree strongly [1]!

Cheers and Best Regards,

Hi Felix,

as Debian (and many derivates) still ship with old JDK, there is in my eyes no reason to remove
Freeplane because of that. Also it would be a shame if it maybe would vanish from it, in that way.

FTR: I am tunning OpenJDK 1.17.10 on Devuan, and Freeplane 1.7.0 runs fine (also still a 32bit
system)

Best,
Alex
