This paper describes our experiences reengineering a visualization tool (SHriMP) into a component-based framework for visualizing software engineering and knowledge engineering projects. The framework is domain independent, customizable and supports multiple methods of integration with other tools. We share with the reader the successes and failures we encountered throughout this reengineering endeavor. We also describe how we have integrated the SHriMP framework with a knowledge management tool called Protégé and with other software engineering environments. We believe that these lessons will be valuable to tool designers in many domains wishing to use a component-based framework architecture. By using a framework of reusable components, we have been able to reap the benefits of the shared insights in visualization from these two closely related domains.
