Open Source Eclipse Plugins

X-Ray is an open-source software visualization plug-in for the Eclipse framework. Software designers use visualization tools in order to raise the level of abstraction and reduce the amount of information to the one needed. Most of these tools are stand-alone programs, that force the user to switch between different windows and contexts. This context switch represents a problem, being time consuming and forcing the user to download, install and use, tools or systems external to his favorite code editor. X-Ray provides System Complexity View, Class Dependency View and Package Dependency View directly inside Eclipse.
