Build Identifier: I20100527-1700

Using Eclipse+CDT+PTP RC3... I am trying to create a runtime configuration for parallel performance analysis (to test PPW plugins).

I select Run > Profile Configuration... and then try to create a Parallel Performance Analysis configuration... I then get a NullPointerException.  Stack trace is attached.

Also, the "Performance Data Manager" view shows this error:

Could not create the view: Plug-in "org.eclipse.ptp.etfw.tau.perfdmf" was unable to instantiate class "org.eclipse.ptp.etfw.tau.perfdmf.views.PerfDMFView".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select Run > Profile Configuration...
2. Double-click to create a new Parallel Performance Analysis configuration
3. NPE appears

This issue resulted from the TAU plugin assuming the tau-provided paraprof application was in the system path.  The plugin will now check if paraprof is available before attempting to use it.
