How to generate "download" metrics of the Eclipse IDE ecosystem
Hi, I need to generate a quaterly report related to the download metrics on the Eclipse IDE ecosystem.
- I identified the following requirements (see below), and:
- I don't succeed in gathering this information using the tool at https://dev.eclipse.org/committers/committertools/stats.php
- I don't succeed in counting them "manually" on our website from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/ because stats looks to have a bug on the website, so I just created a related issue (more specifically related to installer download metrics on the website): #5529 (closed)
- I also had discussion with @bbaldassari2kd regarding my IDE metrics dashboard requirements, but it looks like "downloads" are out of his perimeter.
- FYI: our on going work with Boris is tracked at https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/emo-team/internal/eclipse-metrics/-/issues/104
- In terms of priority: this is identified as a high priority topic in the Eclipse IDE WG 2025 Program Plan - see https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipse-wg/ide-wg/steering-committee/program-plan/-/issues/56
Any help welcome, thanks in advance!
- Here is what I try to get for my quaterly report:
MVP
- Total number of downloads for all IDE versions (including both installers and packages).
Prioritized Breakdown
- Per quarterly release: Compare downloads from Q1 release/Year N to Q1 release/Year N+1, ...
- Per release: Compare downloads of Release N with Release N-1, N-2....
- Per year: Total downloads across each calendar year.
Nice-to-Have
-
Detailed breakdowns, in order of priority:
- By package type.
- By operating system.
- By country.
- By processor architecture.
