I need some quick suggestions. The ideal candidate will:"
(1) Work under SUSE 10 Linux
(2) Be reliable.
(3) Install and update froma URL with the built-in Eclipse install.update mechanism
If your using Java 1.4.2 then http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/ (Test and Perfomance Tools Platform - TPTP) is very good at both performance and memory profiling.
I highly recommend the YourKit profiler…
http://www.yourkit.com/
Looks like there is some Eclipse integration:
It also integrates very nicely with IntelliJ Idea. This is the 1st profiler that I love and it has helped me greatly to find some tough to solve issues in Typhon… and complex apps for work…
The problem i keep on running into with TPTP is al lthsi natvie junk thats goes along with it.
Oh and I use Java5 so it soudsn liek your saying ist not an option anyway.
I might be good… but it is quite expensive. I can run the NetBeans profiler for free. In fact you can do what Roman Guy suggested in his blog and run NetBeans and Eclipse at the same time 
Actually thats what Im doing at the moment.
It works. Its a bit of a pain, but it works.
I wonder how much work it woudl be to write an eclipse pulg-in that presents a Netbeans plug-in interface to Netbeans plug-ins…
Forget I said that, someoen at Sun woudl probably shoot me just for saying it.
YourKit.com give away licenses to projects that are open sourced…If this is for JNWN, then you could write to em.
Ive done it, and yourkit.com is great!

Actually someone at Sun was working to standardize a plugin architecture for all Java IDEs at one point. I thought the main goal was to be able to make universal plugins that run unmodified on Eclipse or Netbeans.
Unfortunately this is a peice of the SGS SDK, so Id have to buy it.
Its actually nto an unreasonable expense if I tried it and itr worked well, except that I’d liekly run into political flak on why I wasn’t using Netbeans/JFLuid sigh
P.S. I did solve the immediate problem using JFLuid. As I say, a pain to work that way, but it does work.
Scientifically speaking, we only need you to get the first and last letters correct, and have any random jumble of the ones in the middle. Not helpful with 2 and 3 letter words, but for all the others, that’s all you need to look out for (and this is why “nto” is quite hard to read compared to other typos).
