title: Can't open HPROF file with Eclipse Memory Analyzer
body: <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_performance_analysis_tools#Java" rel="noreferrer">Eclipse Memory Analyzer</a> prompts me only with this message: "Invalid <a href="http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/HPROF.html" rel="noreferrer">HPROF</a> file header".</p>
  
  <p>Stack dump:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    java.io.IOException: Invalid HPROF file header.

  <p>The HPROF file was made on a Linux machine.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://hat.dev.java.net/" rel="noreferrer">HAT</a> doesn't work and the <a href="http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/heapanalyzer" rel="noreferrer">IBM HeapAnalyzer</a> is to complicated, but did work.</p>
  
  <p>What can I do to make it work?</p>
