		<h2>Overview</h2>
		<p>
		The Linux Tools OProfile plugin aims to bring the powerful call profiling
		capabilities of OProfile to Eclipse, in a manner that is easy to use for developers
		of any level of experience. Inexperienced users can, with 1 click, determine the parts
		of their code which use the most time while experienced users of OProfile can perform
		the same functions they would on the command-line but with a much more rich visualization
		of the results.
		</p>

		<h2>Current Status</h2>
		In conjunction with the CDT, the plugin can do the following:
		<ul>
          <li>Launch a local C/C++ application and OProfile simultaneously to start profiling (requires root password to execute OProfile commands)</li>
          <li>Automatically gather OProfile data and display in a tree viewer after a launch</li>
          <li>Launch a local C/C++ application and manually control OProfile via a simple dialog</li>
          <li>Configure OProfile to profile several events simultaneously with as many debug registers as the CPU/OProfile supports</li>
          <li>Configure OProfile to profile relevant shared-libraries and/or kernel modules</li>
          <li>Jump to the line-number of the corresponding source file on a double-click of a sample</li>
          <li>Prompt to save the default session for viewing at a later time</li>
          <li>View the oprofiled log</li>
          <li>One-click launch with sane defaults</li>
        </ul>

		<h2>Future Plans</h2>
		<ul>
		  <li> Robust filtering for events/sessions/images</li>
		  <li> Code-colourization (similar to <a href="http://www.eclemma.org/index.html" class="external text" title="http://www.eclemma.org/index.html" rel="nofollow">EclEmma</a>) for code hotspots</li>
          <li> Comparing two sessions/runs similar to functionality of opreport</li>
        </ul>

		<h2>Try it out</h2>
		  You can download the plugin from our <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/linuxtools/downloads.php">update site</a>, or 
		  check the project plugins out of Git directly from eclipse.org at git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/linuxtools/org.eclipse.linuxtools.git.
          You will need all the plugins under oprofile subfolder, and the plugins under the profiling subfolder:
