<p>I need to profile a java application for a customer. It's an eclipse/maven project, so I decided on using eclipse TPTP ( <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/tptp" rel="noreferrer">http://www.eclipse.org/tptp</a> ).</p>

<p>I tried to install eclipse TPTP through the update manager from a standard eclipse installation, but I gave up because of the unbelievable complex setup and downloading of dependencies with very cryptic names.</p>

<p>Then I downloaded the "all in one TPTP 4.5.1" package from <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/downloads/?ver=4.5.1" rel="noreferrer">http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/downloads/?ver=4.5.1</a> but when I start it up, it pops up an error saying "The eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate it's companion shared library".</p>

<p>I'm running Windows XP, Sun Java 1.5, and clicked on "eclipse.exe" in the unpacked eclipse TPTP installation.</p>

<p>What do I need to do to get eclipse TPTP running?</p>

Maybe try downloading the "Java 1.5+ (JVMTI) Profiler SDK" (runtime) from
http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/downloads/?ver=4.5.1
I also think IBM's latest Rational Developer integrates this technology (there is 60 days trial). You can see how they configure it there.
