According to the compatibility list[1], LTTng version 0.5.69 outputs the
trace format version 0.7, which is only supported by really old versions
of LTTV. The Eclipse TMF viewer only supports versions 2.3, 2.5 and 2.6
. (Funny that it reports "200.113")

However, traces generated by UST are all in the 2.6 format, so those
would be viewable in Eclipse.
