I wonder, if there is an Eclipse plugin for code birdview (preview, visualization, minimap, however it may be called)? I mean, when you see your code in a small preview wind
Minimap is now present in Eclipse starting version 4.9 Official link to the feature
I saw this question again today, and found someone working on such a plugin on github. I have no idea how far progressed this project is, but it may be worth checking out:

Hope this helps!
Here is "Overview" plugin from a deleted by a mod answer that provides a minimap view.
(I don't see a reason for deletion, it's exactly what OP asked for).
