Hi,

I wrote a script that goes through the data of the last six months and prints 
the Eclipse version numbers.
It's under review here [1].

Once this patch is submitted, the script will be used by Jenkins, and this job 
[2] will run weekly and we can look at the results in the console output (see 
[3] for an example where I tried the script).

It's a low-tech solution, but it's automated.

Cheers,
Franz

Sounds good. One last question: when will we notice that the percentage 
of old Eclipse users drops below 5%? Should there be something that 
reminds us to take a look regularly, or even some kind of alert when the 
percentage is reached? Otherwise, we might not notice that we can move 
to Java 7 until months (or even a year or more) later.

Oh, and another thing: it might be a good idea to tell Saros' users that 
(one of) the next major Saros releases will require Java 7 and Eclipse 
4.4, so people can plan in advance. Such a notice might also actually 
accelerate the Eclipe version migration. ;-)

Regards,
Denis
