I don't think this is specific to Freeplane, it looks more like a
general openjdk issue.

If it persists with the suggestions (see below!), you can ask at the
xrender mailing list (since it failed with -Dsun.java2d.xrender=True),
see here:

This looks like you're still using OpenJDK6! You should definitely try
openjdk-7:
  http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=openjdk-7-jre&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

You can switch to openjdk-7 by using (on my i386 jessie system):

$ update-java-alternatives --list
java-1.6.0-openjdk-i386 1061 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-i386
java-1.7.0-openjdk-i386 1071 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-i386
java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
java-gcj-4.6 /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj-4.6
java-gcj-4.7 /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj-4.7
$ update-java-alternatives --set java-1.7.0-openjdk-i386

If that doesn't work, you could try a 32bit- or an Oracle-JDK.
