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?

Was it helpful?

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):
