From the exception it seems that your openjdk installation is headless. Headless installations cannot run graphical applications like freemind. freemind package has a hard requirement on java (full java, not headless), which should normally pull in full openjdk. In your case it seems, that the java requirement was satisfied by something else from a 3rd party repo. Can you post the output of: dnf repoquery --installed --whatprovides java Anyway, to make freemind run on openjdk, you need to install java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless.
- "Headless installations cannot run graphical applications like freemind." - "Anyway, to make freemind run on openjdk, you need to install java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless." I did not understand. Do I need it or not? Anyway, my openjdk installation is the default for Fedora, shouldn't the package/dnf take care of the dependencies? These are java/jdk packages I have installed: # rpm -qa | grep -E 'java|jdk' python3-javapackages-4.7.0-6.1.fc25.noarch copy-jdk-configs-2.2-2.fc25.noarch tzdata-java-2017a-1.fc25.noarch java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.121-8.b14.fc25.x86_64 jdk1.8.0_111-1.8.0_111-fcs.x86_64 javapackages-tools-4.7.0-6.1.fc25.noarch javahelp2-2.0.05-19.fc24.noarch abrt-java-connector-1.1.0-8.fc24.x86_64 -- Daniel

Fedora allows installing multiple java runtimes and selecting which one is used for running applications. The problem is that these two steps are independent. Freemind requires full java (non-headless) to run and dnf makes sure that you have it installed (jdk1.8.0 provides java and is installed). But it has no way of knowing that a different java is selected for runtime (java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless) than the one it had installed (jdk1.8.0). In default Fedora installation this doesn't happen, because Fedora repositories have only one java (openjdk). But because you installed a 3rd party jdk package jdk1.8.0_111-1.8.0_111-fcs.x86_64 this problem appears. freemind's dependencies are declared correctly - there's nothing I can do about your problem from freemind side. Unfortunately, when you install a 3rd party JDK RPM, you need to take care of the consequences manually. > > These are java/jdk packages I have installed: > > # rpm -qa | grep -E 'java|jdk' > python3-javapackages-4.7.0-6.1.fc25.noarch > copy-jdk-configs-2.2-2.fc25.noarch > tzdata-java-2017a-1.fc25.noarch > java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.121-8.b14.fc25.x86_64 > jdk1.8.0_111-1.8.0_111-fcs.x86_64 > javapackages-tools-4.7.0-6.1.fc25.noarch > javahelp2-2.0.05-19.fc24.noarch > abrt-java-connector-1.1.0-8.fc24.x86_64 > > > -- Daniel
