Review 2 Overall evaluation: | 2 Reviewer's confidence: | 4 Review Review: | The short paper proposes an extension to Eclipse that allows seamless navigation across uses of a variable from both control flow and data flow perspective. Navigation is integrated with the editing view, not as a separate window so doesn’t require context switching. A preliminary study suggests some efficacy with the approach but some deficiencies that need addressing.This is a useful piece of preliminary work. The navigation integration is is a nice idea attempting to address issues with existing approaches. The study is a useful design aid that demonstrates areas for further improvement, but provides a conditional endorsement of the idea. In summary, fits the brief of a short paper well.
