Hmm, are there any exceptions logged to the console? Unless the plugin 
can't find a contributing opxml fragment, or that plugin can't find the 
opxml binary (both cases should pop up an errorDialog) I can't see why 
it wouldn't parse the xml properly.

If you're willing to debug it, 
org.eclipse.linuxtools.oprofile.ui.view->OprofileView.java:99-120 would 
be a good area. Uncomment the sys.out.println at line 105 and if the 
results are being parsed correctly, it'll print out the parsed data. 
After that, follow if UiRoot is parsed correctly (line 109), perhaps 
delving into the UiModelRoot class.

If that doesn't yield any insight, perhaps break at the start of 
org.eclipse.linuxtools.oprofile.core->Oprofile.java:getModelData() and 
follow the chain of parsing.

Let me know how it goes, thanks :)
