Is there some plugin for eclipse which shows a minified outline of the source?

Question

E.g. Komodo IDE has this feature:

Can be really useful for getting an overview of a big file. Anyone knows something similar for eclipse?

Answer 1

Yes its there. Look this overview-plugin. This plugin shows the overview of the current text editor in the Overview view. Also the tooltip shows the line under the cursor. Also note that you can control the zoom level in overview view.

Answer 2

The general way of providing that kind of view (not exactly a minified view, but as useful) is through an outline.

For JSON, you would need an eclipse JSON plugin, which has a JSON outline dedicated view:

Answer 3

You can use the Quick Outline feature of many editors in Eclipse to get a pop-up, easily navigable outline of the file's contents. Use Ctrl+O (Command+O on Mac).

To bring up the "normal" persistent Outline View, open Quick Access with Ctrl+3 (Command+3 on Mac) then type outline and select it from the list.
