I would like to gather some statistics on freeform projects in the field, probably when the project is opened. Possible things to record: - whether or not <web-data> is present - number of <compilation-unit>s (of regular and test type) - total number of <package-root>s inside those <c-u>s - total number of classpath entries - total number of <built-to>s - number of <properties>s (other than the original project location sometimes inserted by the New Project wizard) or <property-file>s defined - number of <view-item>s (other than those inserted by the GUI) defined - whether a custom Java platform is configured for the project - number of subprojects (i.e. classpath entries corresponding to project-owned sources) - number of source files (though it is likely this would be too slow to compute) - number of context-sensitive actions defined - number of targets bound to non-context-sensitive actions - number of targets present in build.xml All numeric values which are likely to be more than a few (e.g. number of source files) should be rather categorized into range buckets, as e.g. CND projects do, especially where the exact number might be considered confidential information.
I'm concerned that the proposed set of properties might be a little too detailed comparing to the information gathered on other project types. If possible, I'd suggest to trim it down and focus on items critical to future freeform project support planning.
Well code freeze came earlier than originally planned so I guess this is not going into 6.5.
Would be useful in 7.0. No plans to release autoprojects in that timeframe anyway.
core-main #1073b51d5e85
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200911041401* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/1073b51d5e85 User: Jesse Glick <jglick@netbeans.org> Log: #147458: log usage information when a freeform project is opened.
Can we get a formal description of the log event and its parameters documented in the spec, please? http://wiki.netbeans.org/UsageLoggingSpecification I'll start making respective changes to the backend then. Thanks.

Implemented on the back-end. USG_FREEFORM_PROJECT log records are being imported and processed correctly.
