Andre Dietisheim commented on JBIDE-6376:
-----------------------------------------
yes I agree, these are the bad parts and thinking twice about it there are even more
problems:
- cannot customize User Agent String (mimic Eclipse & JBDS-/JBoss Tools Versions as
different browsers). I guess we could overcome that by defining custom variables though.
- not sure we could launch the browser without showing it (does it request when its
hidden?)
What looks like a major benefit to me is to get rid of the error-prone manual request
construction and less effort to follow Google Analytics evolutions.
Java scripting looks like a very interesting option, another one (I thought of) could be
the javascript bundles that you may use in e4. I'm not sure whether this works in e3
though. Java scripting looks like the most lightweight and efficient option to me so far.
If you agree I'd give it a try.
Usage tracking of JBoss tools
-----------------------------
Key: JBIDE-6376
URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-6376
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: core
Reporter: Max Rydahl Andersen
Assignee: Andre Dietisheim
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 3.2.0.M2
We would like to know how many actually use jboss tools.
We got some data from eclipse update sites but they are unreliable.
Better if we could do a simple ping to a server to track when eclipse is started with
JBoss Tools.
Default will be on, but should be easy to disable.
Default should not track more than what a visit to a webpage tracks.
Suggestion is to use Google Analytics to track it.
jgoogleanalytics could be a good basis for this.

Other requirements:
Should not ping more than once a day (per workspace or per eclipse instance ?, per
workspace I would say)
Should be done asynchronosuly to not have any UI delays
Should have some way to anonymously track users so we don't skew the usage data
