Alexey Kazakov commented on JBIDE-18678:
----------------------------------------

I added one more commit to the [~kaloyan-raev]'s one with updated usage feature.xml - https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-base/pull/365
And if we want to enable JBT usage automaticly when installing some feature (e.g. browsersim) then we have to include the usage feature (which includes both usage api and impl plugins) as required in the feature.xml: https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-browsersim/pull/50
We have to update every JBoss Tools (and integration stack plugins too) feature.xml if we think that this approach is good.
How it's supposed to work:
1. Install browsersim feature (it will trigger usage feature installation).
2. As result both usage plugins (api + impl) are available and usage is enabled.

If some third party product doesn't want to enable usage, then it should not to include browsersim feature. It's OK to include/depend on browsersim plugins or/and create a new feature for browsersim plugins but w/o usage dependency in the feature.xml. In this case the usage api plugin will be available (not the impl one) and usage will be disabled.

[~kaloyan-raev] does it work for you?
[~maxandersen] is it acceptable approach? WDYT?

> I am interested in adopting the CordovaSim feature in our product. However, most of the browsersim bundles have a strong dependency to org.jboss.tools.usage bundle, which force a Usage Reporting popup on startup. I want to avoid this and have the org.jboss.tools.usage excluded from my build.
> Is it possible to make the dependencies to org.jboss.tools.usage optional?
