Eclipse Instrumentation Framework
List title arrow Overview

The instrumentation framework allows developers and usability experts to collect information about how people are using their applications by sending back periodic reports to a central server.

The current preview release (v1.0.1) contains:

  • The instrumentation framework.
  • Data provider extensions for collecting info about:
    • preference settings
    • perspective layout
    • action usage
  • An example instrumentation extension, which collects these data and sends them to a folder in the local filesystem.
  • Support for sending results to an FTP server.

For more details, see the readme.txt and whatsnew.txt files in the download, as well as the schemata for the dataProviders and instrumentation extension points (in HTML form in the doc directory).
