Share mind map with XMind free
Posted on August 22nd, 2012 in Featured | 5 Comments »
From XMind 2012, all xmind online service are free, including private sharing the online map with others.
Normal Share
- Luanch xmind, open a map
- Click Share button on the toolbar
- In the coming upload dialog, add description for this map, select Public or Unlisted in the privacy page, and upload this map
- In the coming finish notification dialog, click See It Now

- Then, you’ll see this map online, and share its URL to others via email, IM tool, twitter and etc.
Private Share
The first two steps are same with normal share.
- In the coming upload dialog, add description for this map, select Private in the privacy page, and upload this map
- Go to this map page, click share to button on map’s description area
- Input the xmind ids or emails of friends, colleagues and others, then click ok.
- XMind.net system will send every one an invitation email.
Then, your friends or colleagues can review this map online or download to their computers to do modifications.
BTW, to let people read full map online, it will be better to expand all branches before uploading it.

Sharing Xmind maps is very useful, but on iPad it’s not possible using Xmind free and iThoughs read Xmind maps, but format is very different and no good. When Xmind for iPad will be in Apple Store?
Thank you.
thanks
Please tell me why Xmind download no longer works/ will install.
It seems to be caused by the same problem that existed back in 2009!!
XMind error after install — Version 1.4.2_03 of the JVM is not suitable for this product.

After spending more time than I had trying to get XMind 3.2.1 running on my current laptop, I finally found a solution to this error:
“Version 1.4.2_03 of the JVM is not suitable for this product. Version 1.5 or greater is required.”
Searching Google for various portions of that error message did not turn up anything useful. (Mostly a reply from Stephen Zhu back in _2009_ asking the user what OS they were on, nothing more.)
I had Eclipse for JavaScript running on my old desktop, and wondered if installing it would help the problem. Eclipse gave the same error message when I ran it:
“Version 1.4.2_03 of the JVM is not suitable for this product.
Version 1.5 or greater is required.”
(OS on my laptop: Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3 – 32 bit
Sun Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0.02 (Package v1.02)
I downloaded and installed C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_01.
Neither Eclipse nor XMind would work _still!_
Finally searching for the solution to this error for Eclipse brought me to this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6502399/version-1-4-2-03-of-the-…
Problem – “…when i run eclipse it gives “version 1.4.2_03 is not suitable for this product.1.5 or greater is required” message and does not run.”
Solution -
“Go to the directory where eclipse is installed and find a file called eclipse.ini.
Open it and add the following line
-vm
C:\Java\JDK\1.5\bin\javaw.exe
Make sure:
1.) You add that text before any -vmargs option that may be in that file.
2.) The -vm is on its own line and the path to javaw.exe is on its own line.
3.) You specify the full path to your JDK 1.5′s javaw.exe ”
That worked to get Eclipse running, but XMind still would not run.
I found that C:\Program Files\XMind\xmind.ini is very similar to eclipse.ini. I applied the same fix.
Now XMind is working.
Now I’m going back to some of these pages (_very_ old*) and posting this same answer. I hope the next guy or gal might be saved a little time and frustration!
Seems like an error like this that’s been around in the installation since 2009 might have been fixed by now.
(Portable — I saw there was an option for a portable version of XMind, but I can’t find anywhere that says if the program is identical for features and functionality between the Windows and the Portable versions. If someone knows that, maybe they can add a useful answer.)
This ‘share’ feature only exports a PNG image of the map, with no interactivity. It would be really cool to create a plugin allowing expand/collapse features of branches. Perhaps this is possible with SVG and html5?
I like the helpful information you provide to your articles. I’ll bookmark your weblog and test again right here frequently. I am moderately certain I will be told many new stuff right right here! Best of luck for the following!
