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.
