    Looks Nice, although, I'm not a IDEA user, because I'm using .NET. But maybe this feature can be added to ReSharper too. Whould be a great addition.

    I have developed a plugin long time ago, designed to reveal dependencies between methods inside a class. I had several ideas regarding visualization, and chose to implement one of them.

    Can I post a screenshot somehow?
