[mylar-dev] Task Context Visualization

Title: Message
I've been working on a visualization for Mylar contexts and could use some feedback on the UI. The visualization is implemented as a data provider for the Visualiser view that was created by the AJDT team. For a given task context, it shows vertical bars representing classes in the context and horizontal stripes that represent members of those classes that are interesting.  The visualization updates as you interact with your project, and highlights elements in the context of each active task according to the highlight color of that task. It is intended to provide an overview of large task contexts. Here's a screen shot of the visualization prototype:
 
 
We want to determine the right way for presenting this information given the way people might intend to use it. For example, if people find it useful to view as they code, the visualization could appear in a separate view as in the prototype. If the visualization is used primarily for getting an overview of an existing context before working on it, then the visualization might appear in an additional tab in the task editor.
 
If anyone has use cases for inspecting a task context using this visualization, please respond or post ideas on the bug report https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=106935 . Any other comments on this visualization would also be appreciated.
 
Thanks,
 
Wesley Coelho
