In the moment, it looks like the tracking of accesses to the update
sites works:

Unfortunately, we can't get any data about the past. To get the
latest statistics, you need to login into the Eclipse Portal, go to
committer tools, select download statistics and enter this in the
query field: /stats/modeling/henshin/org.eclipse.emf.henshin.sdk
Let's see whether the automatic tracking survives also updates of
our update sites...

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
