[recommenders-dev] [GSoC] Approved data collection weekly report

Hi,


this is the weekly report or the GSoC project eclipse approved data collection [1]


Project short description: In order to understand how and for which reasons developers are using Eclipse, many Plug-ins want to collect some usage data. The main problem with any data collection technology is privacy, therefore plugins should ask for approval before collecting usage data. The goal of this project is to collect such user approval before sending the data to any external server. Any operation that uploads data must be “opt-in”.


New implemented features:

Last week i have fixed two Bugs related to the permissions popup dialog[2] [3]. Then i have continued turning the PrivacySettingsService to a Declarative Service, which can be injecting from other classes, the Code is in Gerrit waiting for approval.


Finally i have added a Link to the Preference Page from the approval Dialog, to give the user a hint where he can edit permissions later.(Screenshot attached) [4]


Tasks for the next week:

I will write some SWTBot tests to the UI part this week, then i will fix the PrivacySettingsService to support persisting multiple principal per datums[5] and support the user with decision suggestions.


If you have any question or any description above is not clear enough, don’t hesitate to contact me.


Looking forward to receiving your comments and feedback,

Yasser.
