How to get FreeMind source code

From: http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Getting_started_as_a_developer

Compile, Branch and Patch of the lastest version

  1. get the latest code: git clone git://freemind.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/freemind/freemind
  2. cd freemind/freemind

Run it with ant

ant run (on Mac it's runmac)

Patch

Wannabe devs like myself start with patches, so:

 create branch "new_feature": git checkout -b new_feature
... change the code ...
commit changes: git commit -a
... change again ...
commit again: git commit -a
create patch file: git format-patch master --stdout > patch_by_username_for_feature_xyz.txt

Quoting the docs: A new developer starts in two stages.

Patches. At firsts, she sends her contributions as patches into Patches tracker.
GIT. Later, after she has shown some volume of contribution, she gets access to GIT repository.

Patches tracker: https://sourceforge.net/p/freemind/patches/

Running tests?

ant test runs some, if all, I don't yet know.
