Hi, I also had some thoughts about the question raised, and I think that the question should be rather "how to embed any kind of stuff within the mindmap as to make it easy to exchange with other users?"; speaking about styles, icons, images, linked files, etc...
My thoughts were that we should perhaps try to align with the Open Document format: - many people have thought about it. - we could get our own standardized format for MindMaps (that would be cool!) - OpenOffice is written half in Java, and somehow in the hands of Sun, so I can imagine that an implementation in Java shouldn´t be too complicated. - Open Document format is a zip file, so is a jar file as well, so that the arguments brought by Dimitry could apply as well and direct access be possible (to be tested). I'm not going to implement, so call me a dreamer, but it sounds feasible and "grand" to me. Your thoughts?
