Hi:

I am sort of fascinated by this software.

http://www.thebrain.com/

It organizes(saves) the files/directories on your computer bases on your thoughts, not the traditional way(folder 'vocation', folder 'tax', folder 'cars' etc). A file in vocation folder maybe related to cars(for example, fixing car during vocation -- it happened to me) and tax(maybe that cost is tax related).

I am an experienced Java developer. I am interested in developing a software like that, of course heading different direction. So I am not stealing anything, just inspired by them. For example, academic researchers want to organize the current thoughts in THIS field: some thoughts are consistent, some are in contradiction. They always draw a mental map in their mind. A software more customized will help. 

What kind of technologies are used behind the scene?
1)is some kind of light database for storing the links between each node? Is this called knowledge based?
2)when a user creates a new node by mouse dragging, what kind of Java package can do that?

Thank you very much.
