Better EMF model visualisation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

My code works on an EMF model - but an EMF model opens a lot of nodes -
mostly irrelevant. It might be a good idea if there is a chance of removing
some inner fields.

More research is needed, but most stuff in EObject is not relevant in most
cases - all EMF model elements are descendants of EObject.

I upload a Visualisation of an EMF model object with some large comment block. 
It is quite unusable.

Well, I think this is what I made
[http://code.google.com/p/debugvisualisation/wiki/Filters filters] for. You can 
write
custom filters and attach them to the extension point..

OK, filters may help - but I do think some research should be made to help the
reduction of a commonly used model (EMF).

After closing Issue #9 (about the changes related to the too long texts) I got 
the
following picture of the same model.

Those 10+ copyright variables are ridiculous. Especially after considering that 
the
Variables View does not show any of them. After seeing the source of the
corresponding file, I found, that copyright is:

public static final String copyright = " * Cop ... ";

Maybe this can be some help for detecting the problem.

This project might be worth checking: 
http://code.google.com/p/emfmodelvisualizer/

I did not do a lot of research, but who knows - maybe it can help us.

I intend to design the new filter functionality to be capable visualising emf 
also.
In version 0.6.1..

This functionality should be a filter script package, which separates for the 
core
project itself, therefore should be versioned separately.

Maybe the current filter API is capable of handling EMF objects. We can start 
working
on this, but it is a low priority task currently.
