Hi,

I've follow this link (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/juno/SR1/eclipse-cpp-juno-SR1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz) to download the Eclipse env.

Here is the version notes i can give you :
**************
Eclipse
Version: Juno Release
Build id: 20120614-1722

Eclipse Linux Tools LTTng ... 1.0.0.201206130106
**************

Then i've got my traces with :

lttng create
lttng enable-event -u -a
lttng add-context -u -t vpid -t vtid
lttng start
...
lttng stop
lttng destroy

Here is a sample of the traces :
http://paul.chavent.free.fr/tmp/sample_traces.tar.bz2


I can open the traces in eclipse (i see the "Events" panel), but i can't see the events ordered by pid/tid in the "Time Chart" panel, neither "Control Flow", nor "Ressources" ...)

Is it possible to have the traces displayed sorted by tid for instance ?

Thanks.

Paul.
