Question
I know that the Eclipse Foundation has a program within Eclipse (I guess it is a plugin) that can monitor the user behaviour. E.g. What window was used how many times.
I forgot the name of that program. Is it possible to use the plugin in a company to monitor how the programmers use Eclipse?
Solution
It is the Eclipse Usage Data Collector (UDC), with its user guide
At present, the UDC does not expose any official APIs, though there are several under consideration
So, I am not sure you could reuse it directly for internal use. They have a mailing list, though, were you could get a confirmation about that kind of project.
You could may be try and change the "upload address" (if you can setup a compatible server):
The data captures are visible here.
