title: How to switch off Google "Analytics Ping" in Eclipse
body: <p>In Eclipse Neon I started getting a dubious background job called "Analytics Ping", if I build (ie. save a file!) or synchronise with eGIT. <a href="https://github.com/gwt-plugins/gwt-eclipse-plugin/issues/337" rel="noreferrer">I believe this is due to GWT</a> (2.8.0). It appears to be poorly implemented in that:</p>
  
  <p>1) Other background jobs queue unnecessarily behind it (it prevents me from updating/committing code!).</p>
  
  <p>2) Like many other background jobs in Eclipse, it doesn't respond to cancellation requests.</p>
  
  <p>Thus, if it has problems "pinging" back, it prevents me from working (And why does it need to ping for every file save?!). </p>
  
  <p>Does anybody know how to switch this off for these versions? Thank you.</p>
