I don't see anything in that mockup that you couldn't do with Pivot. The graph visualizer would obviously require some custom work, but I'm sure you knew that.  ;-)  You might be able to do it with Pivot's drawing API (org.apache.pivot.wtk.media.drawing). Alternatively, you could create a Pivot component that wraps a library such as JGraph. I prototyped such a component a while back as a proof of concept - I could re-post it if you are interested. Let me know.

Mainly it would consist of component panel from which components can be dragged and dropped on to a canvas and then connected to each other. Additionally I want to represent the info in a Tree View on the canvas as a tree,  visually on the canvas, upon user selecting a context menu command on a Tree View node. Now do you foresee any issues that I might run in to with Pivot for something like this. Is this kind of thing currently feasible with Pivot?
