Docear

Among other things, Docear offers:

Docear is an academic literature suite. Docear bundles several applications for academics. As of now, these applications are BibTeX based reference management, mind mapping, and some pdf management capabilities. Developed by Joeran Beel, Stefan Langer, Marcel Genzmehr, and others.

1. I had to build docear with this dependency removed. Vrakfall commented on 2018-08-09 21:03. @rvasilev: Thank you for the quick fix! Vrakfall commented on 2018-08-09.
2. Program: DocEar License: Free and Open Source Due to the external libraries we use, we release the entire Docear software under the free and open source licence GNU/GPL 2. Libraries and external programs we are using include: Freeplane (GPL 2 or later) JabRef (GPL 2) JPod (BSD Licence).

• A single-section user-interface that allows the most comprehensive organization of your literature. With Docear, you can sort documents into categories; you can sort annotations (comments, bookmarks, and highlighted text from PDFs) into categories; you can sort annotations within PDFs; and you can view multiple annotations of multiple documents, in multiple categories -- at once.
• A 'literature suite concept' that combines several tools in a single application (PDF management, reference management, mind mapping, ...). This allows you to draft your own papers, assignments, thesis, etc., directly in Docear and to copy annotations and references from your collection directly into your draft.
• A 'recommender' system that helps you discover new literature: Docear recommends papers which are free, in full-text, instantly ready to download, and tailored to your information needs.
• And did we mention that Docear is free, open source, available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, not evil (open data formats such as BibTeX and XML, no registration required, no lock-in), and offers PDF metadata retrieval, free online-backup of your mind-maps, free support (German and English), a monitoring function for new files (PDFs, images, etc.), a free MS-Word add-on, ...?

@ndandanovJDK8 depends on JRE8 that depends on jre8-openjdk-headless, so I do not see your point. But you could mask jre8-openjdk-headless from updating.

ndandanov commented on 2018-10-02 13:07

Hello and thank you for the efforts to provide this useful package!I think that the jre8-openjdk-headless dependency can be removed. For example, I use the jdk package version 8u144-1 (deliberately not updated to 9 as it would break a few related packages) so I do not need an additional jdk. I had to build docear with this dependency removed.

The file that is on dropbox isn't there anymore and generates a 404 error, thus it cannot be built!

Package updated

java-runtime was replaced with jre8-openjdk-headless

rvasilev commented on 2018-05-30 19:50

@ph1r3ph0x will look for workaround

ph1r3ph0x commented on 2018-05-28 12:34

You should remove the jre9 and jdk9 dependencies since Docear doesn't work with jre > 8. See: https://github.com/Docear/Desktop/issues/507

Please update the pkgrel in tthe .SRCINFO to 3, or the package will fail to build.

Package fails to build if you have a custom $SRCDEST:

Docear Mind Map

Package builds fine if you replace $startdir with $srcdir in line 60 of PKGBUILD:install -Dm 644 '$srcdir/docear-metadata-lib-0.0.1.jar?raw=1' '${pkgdir}/usr/share/docear/plugins/org.docear.plugin.bibtex/lib/docear-metadata-lib-0.0.1.jar'.
