Profiling Java Applications with Eclipse and TPTP

I need to profile some Java applications. I'm using Eclipse as my development environment, so I started looking for tools. The first thing I found was this tutorial using TPTP (http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/index.php):

http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-TPTP-Profiling-Tool/tptpProfilingArticle.html

First, I'm installing the pre-requisites:

• I already have the JDK
  
  
• Eclipse SDK - http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.6.2-201102101200
• It looks like this is a replacement of Eclipse with the SDK installed as plugins. I could point it at my current workspace, but I would need to re-install my other plugins (Subversion, JIRA, etc.,.), so I'm going to try to install the SDK plugins in my current Eclipse install.
• In Eclipse, go to Help, Install New Software and search all available sites for Eclipse SDK. It found 3.6.2.M20110210-1200.
  

• EMF - Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF and XSD)
• EMF: Install Eclipse Plugin
• XSD: Shows up in Eclipse plugin directory as XML Schema Definition SDK

Now install the Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP)

• NOTE: I'm NOT installing the WTP and BIRT support for TPTP right now

Netflix and AWS

Read through this excellent set of slides about Netflix and how they are using AWS. This documents a lot of their development process, including how they are migrating from the traditional datacenter with systems administrators (SA), DBA, and network admins to a cloud based architecture with a "Cloud Operations Reliability Engineering" team.
