Zest is built to create graphical visualization.
In this kind of application, the user want to see a "model" in a graphical way. At the first opening, an auto layout is required. after that, the user can move the node to have a better disposition and generally he want to retrieve this disposition at the next opening.

So a good new feature for Zest could be to add some API to help developper to do this kind of features.

I don't think it makes sense for this to go into Zest proper. Zest is just supposed to be a graph widget (like SWT trees, tables, etc...).  Building a layer on top of Zest to persist graph items is a great idea, but out of the scope of this project.
