Hi,
it most probably all rely on the fact that FreeMind doesn't work with free Java implementations (kaffee, classpath, gcj, etc...) but only with Sun/Blackdown (see http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FreeMind_on_Linux#I_get_an_error_java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError_when_starting_FreeMind).
Also, I don't know if it's a reportbug limitation or if you twicked your setup, but sun-j2re1.4debian is listed below without sun-j2re1.4.
If Sun's Java is nevertheless installed on your machine, you can solve your problem by reading the man page freemind(1) or by using the help given by the above link (e.g. setting JAVA_HOME).
The fact that FreeMind, despite a GPL license, is in 'contrib' is for me sign enough that it depends on a non-free Java, but I will make it more obvious in the next version. I don't think there is a technical way to force this kind of thing... This reduces anyway the problem to a small documentation glitch.
You're welcome to give me feedback.
Cheers, Eric
