Usage tracking of JBoss tools
-----------------------------

                 Key: JBIDE-6376
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-6376
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Feature Request
            Reporter: Max Rydahl Andersen
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 3.2.0.M1


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
