The graphview plugin, despite significant progress in the past weeks

resp. too wide distances.
Even more is missing to make it approach the quality of the ancient graph
browser by Stefan Berghofer from 1996: it lacks the important "rubberband"
phase to get the layout straight.
The Swing/Scala replacement was added too early to the Isabelle code base,
expecting that it would become better before the release, but it probably
means that I have to finish it myself if nothing happens: removing more of
its experimental features and recovering functionality that was common-place
in the 1996 version.
See Isabelle/8cfd585b9162 from last Friday, where I have reactivated the
old graph browser for the release. It does not make sense to have a
half-finished "new" tool in the product, when it cannot really replace the
old one.
I am still hoping for Stefan Berghofer to help me port the best of his old
browser to the new setting (Scala + Swing + jEdit) at some point after the
release.
