hmm - just realised that is missing from the docs...pretty sure it was 
there at some point.

For basic enablement add dependency to: `org.jboss.tools.usage` like in 
https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-server/blob/jbosstools-4.2.0.Beta1x/as/plugins/org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.ui/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF#L67

Wizard usage will be recorded as soon as the usage reporter is installed 
(and of course if the user said yes to be tracked)

> UsageReporter.getInstance().countEvent(eventType.event(label, value));

If you have code like the above then you for sure should already be 
covered for sure ;)
