    <p>I am working on my bachelor thesis (this is my first research project) and trying to evaluate different possibilites to monitor a developers work during a day, aggregate it and illustrate it later. For this purpose, I defined some metrics, I want to measure (they might change over time and there might come more).</p> <p>My questions are related to the monitors. To start, I have decided to monitor the developers work (only) within Eclipse (and add a TFS implementation later):</p> <ul> <li><p><strong>Work Items</strong>: I want to know how many work items the developer solved, edited and created. If possible, I want to access the data from MyLin, because multiple different task/bug-trackers can be used (Bugzilla, Mantis, etc.). Unfortunately, I am not sure, if this is possible somehow?</p></li> <li><p><strong>IDE-stuff</strong>: (To start), I want to count the number of selects and edits in the code and probably also the number of clicks a developer made within the IDE. I read, that I can create listeners on Eclipse and get the data. Is this right and does anyone know a nice tutorial on that topic?</p></li> <li><p><strong>Source Code Management</strong>: To track a developers work, I need to get the developers source code changes (commits). For SVN, GIT and CVS, there are multiple APIs, which I may access with Java or also via webrequests. But before I start that, I wanted to ask you, if someone knows a plug-in or something where I can access the commits from different version control systems? What is the easiest way to do something like that?</p></li> </ul> <p>I also have a couple of other things, I am going to measure... My aim is to aggregate the data within an Eclipse plugin and then send it the server for the visualisation. </p> <p>I am not necessarily looking for fully implemented solutions, but more for hints, tutorials, tips, your opinions and probably also questions and propositions!</p> <p>thank you!</p>

    1. CO*"but more for hints,"* 1) Would it count if it was the same item done 100 times? (created, edited, deleted then recreated..) 2) It would take an hour or so to write an app. using the `Robot` to do that while I am on breaks and at lunch. 3) See 1, but throw the robot into the mix to automate it. *"tutorials, tips, your opinions.."* My opinion is that those developers subjected to such inane metrics will waste time figuring out how to get around them. Then their 'productivity' will rise considerably.

    2. CO@AndrewThompson I would imagine the client/manager would be able to tell if the same work was repeated 100 times. Some of the metrics the OP is trying to report on are available in some widely used CI systems. I don't necessarily think reporting these metrics is a particularly nefarious activity that developers will attempt to circumvent.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
