OK, I recompiled opxml and put it in the aforementioned directory. Calling 
opxml from the command line now works. However, I still have problems with 
the Eclipse plugin.
- no events are shown in the launch configuration
- the oprofile view is now filled with some data but I can only see the 
top of the tree (100% in myapp); I cannot dive in deeper (opreport shows 
much more)
- there are still errors in the Eclipse error log
