Compilation

We use maven to handle our dependencies and build. To compile Nodemapper, follow these steps:

• Install Maven 3.

• Check out this repository (clone or download).

• Navigate to the project folder of this repository which contains a pom.xml and run:

    $ mvn clean install
  

Run

If you downloaded a binaries package or built your own one, you have several options to run Nodemapper:

• You can try to execute nodemapper-<version>.jar (e.g. with a double-click).

• If that doesn't work, open a command prompt, navigate to the binaries folder and run:

    $ java -jar nodemapper-<version>.jar
  

You need the Java JRE for each of those methods. If you haven't done yet, download it here.

Usage

If you start a new tree, you will only have one node with the content "Root". You can double-click on the text to edit it to something else.

You can add a new link to another node by clicking on the border of a node and dragging the line to the other node. If there's no node, the program will create a new one. If you link to nodes together a second time, the link will be removed.

Use trees with your software

If you want to use created trees in your own software, you can copy the source files from the package "com.quartercode.nodemapper.tree" and use them as an API. For loading/saving, you need the packages "com.quartercode.nodemapper.ser" and "com.quartercode.nodemapper.ser.types".

The only requirement for using this classes is a reference to this original repository.
