Hi folks!

Stephan and I have been talking about contributing this to Eclipse in the 
previous days. Our initial idea was Nebula. Only today it occurred to me that 
this is actually a visualization component, and therefore would be a perfect 
fit for Zest (http://www.eclipse.org/gef/zest/). So I told Stephan that we'd be 
very interested in this contribution. Any thoughts on what makes most sense?

Cheers,
Fabian
