<p>The Visualiser is an extensible Eclipse plugin that can be used to
visualize anything that lends itself to a 'bars and stripes' style representation.
It began as the Aspect Visualiser, which was a part of AJDT.
It was originally created to visualize how aspects were
affecting classes in a project. It has since been extracted
to become its own plug-in and given extension points in order that
other types of information can be visualized.</p>
<p>An on-line demo showing how to use the Visualiser with AJDT is available
from the
<a href="http://www.eclipse.org/ajdt/demos/index.html#VISUALISER-DEMO">AJDT demos page.</a>
</p>
<p>A tutorial exploring the Visualiser in detail, and describing the process
of creating a new provider, using the Google provider as an illustration,
is available from developerWorks:
