Eclipse code birdview plugin

Question

I wonder, if there is an Eclipse plugin for code birdview (preview, visualization, minimap, however it may be called)? I mean, when you see your code in a small preview window and may scroll using this window. Wait, I'll show you...

Screenshot (taken from Sublime Text)

Like this. (See the column, where the white rectangle is).

+1: Nice question. Which app are you using at the screenshot? — Martijn Courteaux, Jul 16 '11 at 14:08

Here is "Overview" plugin from a deleted by a mod answer that provides a minimap view.

(I don't see a reason for deletion, it's exactly what OP asked for).

I think this is better than the `eclipse-minimap-view` plugin. I have used them both and this one had fewer problems and better features like scaling. – nimcap May 14 '14 at 09:12

As of March 2016, looks like this plugin is not only maintained but en route to be included in Eclipse. – hmijail Mar 25 '16 at 19:09

I saw this question again today, and found someone working on such a plugin on github. I have no idea how far progressed this project is, but it may be worth checking out:

Hope this helps!

It's a "beta" version right now, there is still some issues to fix: some lag when you scroll and it doesn't display the full file if it doesn't fit in the minimap window. I'll try to improve that! – Alexandre Pauzies Jan 12 '13 at 07:22
@AlexandrePauzies any luck on tackling the improvements? – Daniel Sokolowski Feb 27 '14 at 21:04
@DanielSokolowski Unfortunately no, didn't get time to work on this. – Alexandre Pauzies Mar 05 '14 at 18:56
