Dear users,

I am the current author of the (orphaned since years) freeplane package
for Debian. Indeed, the freeplane-1.7.x in Debian does not work with 
recent java. I cannot fix this because the version of gradle (build tool)
in Debian/Ubuntu is way too old to build freeplane-1.11.x (needs gradle
7.x).

However, you can download the .deb version that upstream provides:
- https://sourceforge.net/projects/freeplane/
- select "Files"
- select "freeplane stable"
- select freeplane_1.11.11~upstream-1_all.deb
- install with "sudo apt install /path/to/freeplane_1.11.11~upstream-1_all.deb"

Note this bug related to ibus:
https://github.com/freeplane/freeplane/issues/1069

You can also, as the reporter noted, switch to an old JRE (mind security issues
though!), either through JAVA_CMD or FREEPLANE_JAVA_HOME.

I will discuss with the debian-java team whether to remove freeplane from 
Debian/Ubuntu
for security reasons (old JRE versions...), unless you disagree strongly!

Best Regards,
Felix
