Currently, docshare doesn't have any hooks for collecting usage information using the Eclipse usage data collector

http://www.eclipse.org/org/usagedata/

It would be very desirable to have such hooks so that people can/could collect information about usage.

I am not sure what the best approach would be for collecting usage information.  For the usage data collector in EPP they have listeners for command executions and view/editors being activated.  This is great from a generic standpoint but I dont think it really helps for docshare since it is using a dynamic approach with the roster contributions.  With that being said there is an ext point for implementing a usage monitor which you can define how it gathers information. 

Any thoughts?

As a start, I would be inclined to just notify on starting/ending of a docshare session.  It would probably not be a good idea to get into something that would get notifications of docshare messaging...with the attendant problems of listeners that could block, throw exceptions and screw things up, etc.
