Re: [mylar-dev] zest and mylar

Hi Ivica,

I am almost ready to submit an entire refactoring of the Zest nested 
viewer.  I am just trying to hammer out some performance problems that 
only seem to appear under Linux.

When Mik first started working on Mylar, we had some ideas that maybe we 
could use Mylar to help filter large visualizations.  I was working on 
the Zest project and since Zest is supposed to conform to the same 
interfaces that other JFace views have, it seemed like it could work.  
Mik has done a great job getting Mylar working with the JDT and 
incorporating it into the IDE.  We are hopefully going to meet in April 
to see if it still makes sense to apply Mylar to Visualizations.

You are right, Zest can also (and should) help show the Degree of 
Interest model. 

Cheers,
Ian
