Vitali Yemialyanchyk commented on JBIDE-6376:
---------------------------------------------

as I think this sould be as simplest plugin implemented?
is it obligatory to deal with google analitics? or is it possible (necessary) to track for some jboss server to collect information?

JGoogleAnalytics_0.2.jar  - last update -> Aug 2008
it use "__utm.gif mechanism" which is old - now google analitics works with ga.js.

in general to track this info - possible to formulate some http request with user id (+some other data like most usefull plugin - if there is a sence) and server just register this info in db or just file,
is not necessary to wait server response - or wait response for some time and then repeate request with several try.

> 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. http://code.google.com/p/jgoogleanalytics/
> 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
