[linuxtools-dev] Local project and remote execution (Was: Question on remote profiling)

Hello,
I have tried the following profiling scenario with Linuxtools project: Kepler, CDT w LTP2.0, cross GCC for arm-linux-gnueabihf-, build
rogram on my i686 laptop and try to profile on BeagleBoard. I found out that this doesn't work with "Profiling with Perf (Remote)". The same
project can be successfully run and debugged remotely on BeagleBoard by CDT tools. Command-line perf is installed and runs ok on BeagleBoard.
I wonder if this scenario is expected to be supported by LTP feature "Remote project profiling using RSE or RemoteTool" (this is cited from
here: http://www.eclipse.org/linuxtools/projectPages/perf/) or this feature means something else by "remote project profiling"?

Details about my configuration and what was not working are here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=418094

The discussion in the issue ended on saying that remote perf is supported for either remote or synchronized projects.
In our case, more preferred workflow is to have all the sources on a host system, the same system where Eclipse runs,
and only copy executables to remote system for execution. It appears such use case is not presently supported for remote
perf.

I wonder whether it's not supported because it's not a priority for LinuxTools developers, or there are some fundamental
design objections to this workflow?

Thanks,
