Re: [henshin-dev] Henshin at Planet Eclipse
|
Dear Gabi,
I do not know how many times the Henshin web site has been accessed. The
most interesting number would be the downloads from our update sites.
Unfortunately, there is no direct and easy way to get these numbers.
Tracking downloads from update sites is supported only rudimentary. How
it works is that you have to configure your update site in a special
way. Then, what should happen is that whenever Eclipse accesses the
update site (downloads a feature), Eclipse should make a request to a
special URL at Eclipse.org. Then the Eclipse servers are supposed to
track these accesses in order to gather statistics about downloads /
installations.
I have tried this out some time ago already, but did not succeed. It is
very difficult, because (a) I don't know whether Eclipse in fact sends
the requests to the stats servers, and (b) I don't know whether
Eclipse.org is correctly collecting this data. Anyway, yesterday I
configured our update sites again such that in principle, it should
collect the data. We need to wait a little to see whether this actually
works. I used the opportunity to check whether other popular update
sites are also configured to collect this data. I checked a number of
update sites including the ones for EMF itself and related projects. In
none of them I found the required configuration. Therefore I doubt that
it is actually used by projects. I believe the only numbers that
Eclipse.org really tracks and uses is the number of downloads of Eclipse
itself.
Cheers,
Christian

Hi Christian,
this ProfilingApplicationMonitor sounds very promising. I have to try
it out!
And posting at Planet Eclipse is certainly a good idea. Do you have
any ideas
how often the Henshin site and especially the download page are visited?
Best wishes,
Gabi

Dear all,
thanks to Gunnar Wagenknecht, the Henshin-related blog posts are now
also published at Planet Eclipse (www.planeteclipse.org). This is a
great opportunity for us to attract more users.
