There are build instructions contained in both releases, located in 
'Documentation\readme.htm'.  We are working on moving everything in the 
documentation folder onto the website for easier access. So you don't 
have to go look for it, I have included the instructions below.


    Installation

SystemTap GUI is packaged as a stand-alone Java application. You may 
download and build the source yourself or download a prebuilt version.
NOTE: Installation assumes you already have both Java and SystemTap 
installed.

  3. http://stapgui.sourceforge.net/download.shtml Untar Eclipse
  4. tar -xzvf eclipse-SDK-3.1.2-linux-gtk.tar.gz Import the project
     into Eclipse
     Select File->Import
     Select 'Archive' Click 'Next'
     Browse to the directory you downloaded the SystemTapGUI tarball to
     Choose a location to import to
  5. Click finish Export the project
     Open up the com.ibm.ras.systemtap.systemtapgui plugin Open the
     systemtapGUI.product file Click on Eclipse Product Export Wizard
     under Overview/Exporting Choose Directory for export destination
  6. Make sure compiler options are set to Java 1.4 Click finish Run
     the project
