[jbosstools-dev] Hooking up Fuse Tools and SwitchYard with usage tracking

[Lars Heinemann]

>From what I read here I can say we do not have a line
like UsageReporter.getInstance().countEvent(...) anywhere in the Fuse
Tooling. Back in time when asking how to get tracked if our tooling is
installed / used the answer was put dependency to usage bundle into
manifest. I did that and nothing more so far.

I have digested Max's comments here into the doc:

https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-devdoc/blob/master/api/usage/u
sage_api.adoc#enabling-usage-tracking-in-your-plugin

Feel free to contribute fixes to that doc if you encounter more stuff
you feel needs to be there.
