- This message advises you about a feature of the early access releases of
- the Java WorkShop and to ask for your cooperation.
-
- If you click on the "accept" button of this dialog, Java WorkShop logs usage
- information to a file which is mailed to SunSoft. This log summarizes
- information about how you use the workshop. Information collected includes:
-
- - The platform and user
- - Actions taken. For example, mouse button clicks and invocations
- of different workshop tools
-
- This information is summarized at SunSoft and used to help the developers
- answer questions like:
-
- - How much is the workshop being used?
- - How many people are using the workshop on a particular platform?
- - Are people using a given feature?
- - If a lot of people are using this feature, should an
- accelerator be added?
-
- We are not interested in information about individuals who use the tools. We
- collect only the login name of users and the type of platform they are using.
- This information is gathered only to be able to count the number of distinct
- users using the product.
-
- A typical Usage Tracking mail message looks like:
-
- JDE : user: smith
- JDE : platform: "SunOS 5.5 sparc"
-
- Normally, you will be unaware that Usage Tracking is enabled. Occasionally,
- for a variety of reasons, mail sent to SunSoft may bounce, and you might see a
- message from the Mailer-Daemon reporting that. These messages may be safely
- deleted.
-
- We ask that you not turn off Usage Tracking because we are very interested in
- knowing how you use the Java WorkShop. If you select "decline", you can still
- use all features of workshop. Usage tracking is simply turned off.
