[mylar-dev] Disabling the submission of usage data in org.eclipse.mylar.

["Thomas Fritz" <tom.eclipse@xxxxxxxxx>]

I want to use the org.eclipse.mylar.monitor.usage package for my study to monitor people's interaction with JavaElements in Eclipse. Using the org.eclipse.mylar.monitor.usage package triggers the UsageSubmissionWizard to pop up in some cases, even though I do not want this to happen. Therefore, to disable the popping up I added a variable to enable and disable the feature (the changes are in the attached patch). However, I don't think it is a good solution as the variable should actually be set before the start method of the MylarUsageMonitorPlugin is called or the variable should maybe be loaded from the preferences. Maybe someone else has a better solution to this.
