Abstract

This paper describes the integration of an information visualization tool, called SHriMP Views, with IBM WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition, which was developed with Eclipse technology. Although SHriMP was originally developed for visualizing programs, it is content-independent. We have re-targeted SHriMP for visualizing flow diagrams. Flow diagrams, as supported by WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition, can be hierarchically composed, thus leveraging the key features of SHriMP that allow a user to easily navigate hierarchically composed information spaces. We discuss the differences between programs and flow diagrams, in terms of their semantics and their visual representation. We also report on the main technical challenges we faced, due to the different widget sets used by SHriMP (Swing/AWT) and Eclipse (SWT).
