Here we give a brief introduction to AspectMaps, showing the main elements of the user interface and briefly talk about the example we use.

**Differences in this screencast with respect to AspectMaps 1.0**

In this screencast the differences are mainly cosmetic:
  * The widgets in the window look slightly different
  * The colors of the aspects differ
  * The metrics panel is organized differently, and here there are less metrics to choose from.
  * Here some of the structural zoom buttons are not present: Package Level and Class Level, plus there is a superfluous 'Refresh Display' button.
  * Here there are no toolbars in the Projects list, nor in the Aspects in Project list
  * Here the visualization also shows superfluous packages (defined outside of the Eclipse project, for which no complete information is available), e.g. java.* packages
