Possibly the Eclipse website should be updated to reflect this, but TMF is the TLA that has been used by their team for the "Tracing and Monitoring Framework" for quite a while now. I really doubt that the developers of this project will stop using it at this point. See: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Linux_Tools_Project/LTTng http://www.eclipsecon.org/summiteurope2010/sessions/?page=sessions&id=1683 On a similar note, I've seen on this mailing list that their project is being often referred to as "LTTng", which probably confuses end-users more than anything: the TMF LTTng plugin is actually the "LTTng integration" to Eclipse Linux Tools, meaning that it allows viewing traces taken by the LTTng and UST tracers in Eclipse. We had to update the lttng.org website to redirect users having questions about the LinuxTools LTTng integration to this mailing list.
