Does Haiku have a flowchart program? Currently I use yED but I’d like to have something native.
…a DIA port would be great ! ;
Well, there is a graphiz port, but it’s command line based.
Long long long Time ago i startet to develop one:
you can get the binary here
http://dev.osdrawer.net/attachments/download/91/bin.zip
osdrawer website…
http://dev.osdrawer.net/projects/projectconcept/files
My Website (www.projectconceptor.de) is down at the moment … if i can finde a lot of time … i will put it back online…
At the moment it supports export to freemind)
But it is alpha stage… so…
Its possible to develop a graphiv backend for projectconceptor and i was in the process evaluating this possibility … but then i didnt found the time to do this.
If you need a packagemanger enabled pre alpha build then you can check out this hpkg (need to be copied to home/packages)
http://www.projectconceptor.de/ProjectConceptor-0.0.6-33-x86_gcc2.hpkg
Have Fun amd pls give feedback … it´s an pre alpha version… so bug hunting… is verry welcome.
yEd seems like an interesting flowchart program.
I spotted the name on an Ancestris menu description and searched the Haiku forum) and found a single entry about it.
Apparently it is available (also? For) JAVA, but obviously not programmed like Ancestris, which I can (almost) easily start under Haiku!
Ancestris starts without modification (for Haiku), without installation, simply from any directory ~ GENIAL!
How can I start UNKNOWLEDGING yEd under Haiku?
Thanks for your help!

I had no problem running yED on Haiku, Get the jar file and run it with java -jar yed.jar.
However, drag and drop did not work, and so the editor was unusable 
I have reported this issue to haikuports but it seems no one is working on Java issues at the moment. And I had no time to dig into it mysefl so far.

Unfortunately I cannot test yEd under Haiku because my Haiku PC is not ready for it at the moment (Haiku 32bit not at all since July 30th, Haiku 64bit: WebPositive crashes after starting)…
That’s not correct
yWorks - Downloads → show all downloads → Java
This gets you just the jar file without any JRE. And it works just fine with a standard JRE (that’s how I use it on Linux).
Repeated what @PulkoMandy suggested.
Downloaded the zipped Java version of yEd Graph Editor 3.25.1
From the folder you have extracted yEd into rightclick open terminal
then at the prompt enter ~/…> java -jar yed.jar
yEd should fire up if JRE is installed
It all seems to work on my brief test (took half an hour from download to this report), except drag and drop is not working as @PulkoMandy reported.
A work around is [Edit]–>[Duplicate] or [Edit]–> [Add Child] then select it, point to the icon you want to drag and drop on the side panel and right click [Apply].
The other work around is yEd-live in Iceweasel.
An interesting popup appeared when my diagram got messy “do you want to install “One Click Layout””, which I clicked yes out of interest. It downloaded(I think) and installed and now “One Click Layout” appears in the Layout menu options! Since my instal directory was random on the Haiku desktop it surprised me it worked. There must be some linking to the y Files site when you load yEd which is presumably what they get out of it. Somehow when yEd closed it opened an advertising link in WebPostive (which failed)!
Otherwise it seems a really good application for doing all sorts of diagrams, so hopefully the JAVA bug gets debugged.
