For my design study, I am going to be working to improve the design of my COSC460 project. The project is a plug-in for Eclipse designed to provide a tool for visualising software metrics directly onto source code. The plug-in is written in Java and is approximately 5K LOC.

Existing Code Base
This system is my first attempt at developing this system.

Areas of Greatest Concern
- API: Is the architectural model appropriate? Is the use of the Observer pattern correct here?
- Model: Are there any possible improvements?
- String Manipulation: Is there any way to avoid the current String manipulation in Mapping Properties?
- Display Strategies: Is there any way of simplifying this hierarchy? Are the current methods of instantiation appropriate?
