After installing 10.6 and downloading and installing the latest version (8.0) of FreeMind, attempting to run FreeMind would display a dialog requiring that I install Rosetta before I could run the application.
Actually, the part that needs Rosetta is JavaApplicationStub, a small program that allows Java app bundles to be launched just like any other standard Mac OS X app. The problem is that the JavaApplicationStub bundled in FreeMind was a PowerPC executable. I wanted to avoid using Rosetta if easily possible. Looking around, I found some information about JavaApplicationStub.
In Terminal, I navigated into the FreeMind application bundle:
$ cd /Applications/FreeMind.app/Contents/MacOS
Once there, I did the following:
$ mv JavaApplicationStub JavaApplicationStub.old
$ cp /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Resources/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub JavaApplicationStubMac OS X Hints
