--------------------------------------------
Vitali,
I don't know what system you think could be better than google analytics to collect
this. With google analytics we do not need to maintain or configure a server.
ga.js translates into using __utm.gif so it's not really much different.
And yes, this is just about formulating a http request with id (not user id since this
should not be tied to a user) and by using google analytics there is no need to reinvent
the wheel and setup a different system.
I don't know why you mention it is not necessary to wait server response...that is
obvious to me you don't need that with usage tracking like this.
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
