prefuse is a user interface toolkit for building highly interactive visualizations of structured and unstructured data. This includes any form of data that can be represented as a set of entities (or nodes) possibly connected by any number of relations (or edges). Examples of data supported by prefuse include hierarchies (organization charts, taxonomies, file systems), networks (computer networks, social networks, web site linkage) and even non-connected collections of data (timelines, scatterplots). Using this toolkit, developers can create responsive, animated graphical interfaces for visualizing, exploring, and manipulating these various forms of data. prefuse is written in the Java programming language using the Java2D graphics library and is designed to integrate with any application written using the Java Swing user interface library.

The upstream .zip lacks a version number. This prevents us from including it, as a new release will break our nice md5summing feature of Portage. Can you have upstream re-release it with a proper version number?
i wrote an email to the maintainer, i.e. the developer of it
I suggested to include the date of a alpha release into the filenames. now, i've got an reply: No problem, Jan. I will add the date to the naming scheme in future releases. -jeff
