 = Getting Started =
-To start the Linux Tools Trace Viewer, go to the directory where the Trace
-Viewer is installed and then run the application named '''traceViewer'''.
-During startup, the Trace Viewer will create, if necessary, an Eclipse workspace

+= Updating the application =
+The RCP is pre-configured to point to the update site of its release "track".
+For example, if you download a "nightly" RCP, it will update using that
+"nightly" update site. These settings are configurable in the preferences, but
+in most cases, the user should not have to change them.
+
+The program does not check automatically for updates. To check manually, you can
+click on '''Help''' -> '''Check for Updates'''. If updates are available, a
+standard Eclipse update dialog will offer their installation.

+A new dialog will show up for selecting a trace to open. Select a trace file
 and then click on '''OK'''. Note that for traces that are directories
 (such as Common Trace Format (CTF) traces) any file in the trace directory can

-will validate the trace against all known trace types. If multiple trace types

-specific. After successful validation the trace will be opened with the
