Visualizations for Eclipse
Eclipse, as great as it is as a development environment, still lacks software visualization. This project's goal is to take the most popular visualizations used in Moose and port them to Eclipse. This may also include porting Mondrian to Java, but you are free to use any visualization framework. Mondrian needs a dynamic language for its scripting facility. We suggest to use Groovy, or Rhino the new Javascript engine of Java 6.
