FreeMind is a good Java-based one - open source, runs on Windows, OS X and Linux.

+1 I absolutely love using this tool for mapping out projects. A friend of mine is also using it to write novels. – bedwyr Aug 11 '09 at 01:53

1The Freemind-fork Freeplane (http://freeplane.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page ) is also worth a look - it has some very interesting features and an active developer community which offers great support! (see: http://superuser.com/a/143509/92184 ) – MostlyHarmless Nov 28 '12 at 14:56

Freemind. It runs on Java, so is available on all platforms. It comes included in the Ubuntu repository.

You could try Freeplane, an improved version of Freemind. It's free, open source, and Java-based.

Well, looks like their site is down, so if you're still interested you can go to one of the shareware mirror type sites to check it out. – Dillie-O Aug 10 '09 at 21:30

I like Mindjet MindManager. It's not free, but they have a free trial.

Even though this one will set me back a few bucks, it looks like this might be the best of breed. Thanks for the link! – Axxmasterr Aug 10 '09 at 23:37
