Any chance the package could be made not to conflict with xmind? To be able to have both packages installed.

Using gtk2 instead of gtk3, which is the default, makes xmind run much faster. To do so you have to change –launcher.GTK_version in /usr/share/xmind/XMind/XMind.ini from 3 to 2.

Here is my edited file as reference:

BTW, XMind8 requires exact java8: https://support.xmind.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/900001262503

java-runtime is a bit weak dependency. As I understand, PKGBUILD does not allow to specify dependency like "A or B", but possibly better to add varians of jre8 to optdepends as for GTK was done here.

For some reason when I try to run this I got an error claiming it can't find the JRE in the directory /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/bin/java.

The jre8-openjdk installation actually places it in the path /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre/bin/java (ArchLabs Linux)

I tried to use archlinux-java commands to correctly set the JRE and fix any issues, but it doesn't help.

I found the solution was to edit the Xmind.ini file located at /usr/share/xmind/XMind/XMind.ini

There's a line under -vm with the above wrong path. If you correct that to point to your JRE it works fine.

Thanks for posting this. I had xmind 8 and then I updated it. Automatically it updated to xmind 2022 which is nice and all but the free version is much impaired compared to xmind 8. With this I can still use all the functionality of xmind 8 for free.

Update xmind instead of creating alternative pkgbuilds

The goal of this package is to provide the XMind 8 version, since there are both the "2021 version" (soon 2022) and this one
