The paraview plugin is a work in progress.  It's been updated in the trunk, but it's still not working, or needs the 
latest repo version of paraview rather than a released version.  I'm hoping we get that working in the next few weeks, 
so feel free to check back (or keep an eye on commit messages, probably from either me or Bob O'Bara).
