(In reply to comment #0) > Now there are various solutions to this, including the following ones: > 1. The upload url is being displayed in the preference page and/or wizard (as > read only). > 2.

I believe that we should only show the dialog if the URL has changed since the last time an upload was attempted. Does that make sense? Are there other cases we need to consider?

But we should think about what will be displayed in the popup? Something like this would be easy to implement: "the usage data collector upload url was modified unexpectedly, do you want to turn uploading off?" Does it make sense to display the new and the old url? Maybe, I do not know :-) Michael Another thought: Currently, in the upload wizard, it says: "[...] would now like to upload the data to a server at the Eclipse Foundation." That is obviously not correct as soon as somebody changes the upload url. Maybe this text should be changed along with the system property. I have 4 possible solutions in mind: 1. Make the text more general 2. Change the text to display the upload url instead. this way the user could have a look at the domain name. As stated before, somewhere the url should be displayed anyway (as read only). 3. Another system property to display this specific string 4. Extend the current system property to include the string and the upload url (which would require more magic in parsing the property Personally I would favor 2. or 3. Kind regards, Michael Kuck I've split this bug in two. I'll address the display of the URL in the preferences/wizard here; I've moved explicitly warning the user of the change to Bug 303229. I've commited code to display the upload URL on the preferences page. I'm still thinking about how I want to implement this on the upload wizard. I'm considering parameterizing "the Eclipse Foundation" out of the blurb at the top. If the Upload url in the settings is the same as the default, then I'll display "The Eclipse Foundation". Otherwise, I'll display the actual URL. May consider options 3&4 above to display an actual useful string. Created attachment 159475 [details]

The Usage Data Collector was decommissioned a long time ago. Therefore any remaining bugs are now being closed as WONTFIX. If this bug is still relevant, please make a comment and we'll move it to the correct project/component for further investigation. This change was made as part of a bulk change. |
