[eclipse-dev] Preview of Eclipse Instrumentation Framework posted

[Nick Edgar <Nick_Edgar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The Platform UI team has posted a preview of the new Eclipse 
Instrumentation Framework off of our development resources page.
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-ui-home/instrumentation/index.html

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 (v0.3) contains the instrumentation framework, 
as well as data provider extensions for collecting information about 
preference settings and perspective layout. An example instrumentation 
extension collects these data and sends them to a folder in the local 
filesystem. The framework also supports sending results to an FTP server. 

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


If you have comments about the instrumentation framework, please post them 
to the platform-ui-dev mailing list.

Thanks,
Nick
