Introduction
Notes Master is a Java application which manages notes for you. It stores your notes in a tree hierarchy and let you edit your notes in Java's styled document manner. It can run on any platform that supports Java 1.4 and stores data in XML format.

Registration Description: Notes Master is a Java application which manages notes for you. It stores your notes in a tree hierarchy and let you edit your notes in Java's styled document manner, e.g., you can specify different font size, color and style, etc. Since it is written solely with SUN's JSDK 1.4, theoretically it can be used on any platform that supports Java 1.4. No other Java libraries are needed. This application is best used to manage all your invaluabe knowledge!

Before I wrote this application( as of later July 2003 ), I have searched sourceforge and freshmeat for this kind of application which is written in pure Java and can run at least on both Windows and Linux, but unfortunately nothing interesting found. So after having spent lots and lots of hours in searching on the Internet, I finally decided to write
this one. I feel that the knowledge repository is far more valuable than the price of any personal information manager software. This open source tool can give you precise control of your own knowledge collection, because, you have the source code and can do whatever you can to improve it, or upgrade it when Java technology evolves. The bottom line, you will NEVER lose your knowledge collection just because the software vendor no longer upgrades this product!

To me, this application acts as a knowledge base and allows to manage my knowledges on any platform I am working on: Windows, Linux, or Solaris.

I hope you can find this application useful.  If you are interested, you can are welcome to join this project.  Leave me a message in this project's forum.

Current version of Notes Master is 0.2.  It is a "just-enough" version, which means it has most basic functionalities.  The author is using this application every day to record any information deemed interesting.
