Hello Olof There are at least three ways to do this:
1) Create an html file, or rather an html template containing only the necessary <object> code to load the freemind flash viewer. One of the template variables will be the mindmap file you want to show in the viewer. When you want to display the mindmap, "render" the HTML template to a file and start a browser with a system call. In other words, the template will serve as the HTML file skeleton so you don't have to write the same thing again and again, with the one variable pointing to the file you want to load. To make it easier for the user, further execution of your program can be blocked until the user closes the browser window. Also, you could have some minimal control over where the browser will open. This is probably the easiest option. 2) Use a Java GUI component that provides support for rendering HTML (including the <object> tag) and create an html page that embeds the flash freemind viewer and renders it on a panel. For example: http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/text/html/HTMLEditorKit.html 3) For total control you could try embedding the freemind viewer itself from its source code. The code is available at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/freemind/files/ the viewer class is in: freemind-src-0.9.0_RC_9.tar\freemind\freemind\view\mindmapview\MapView.java It seems to be extending a JPanel but you will also need the classes that implement the parsing of the mind map prior to rendering it. Or you could add Freemind to your class path and have a look at their wiki, i think there was a page about this there but i don't seem to be able to find it now. I hope this helps.
