Track users in Java SE application with Google Analytics

I have an application which is built in Java SE to store user data after they register and log in to their accounts.

I want to track the users using Google Analytics which we use to track websites visitors.

If this is not possible with GA, how could I track users using the application? I'm interested in gathering their IP address, country, and other info.

I use this java library that allows you to send page and events to your google analytic account:

Here's how to use JGoogleAnalyticsTracker:

JGoogleAnalyticsTracker.setProxy(System.getenv("http_proxy")); 
AnalyticsConfigData config = new AnalyticsConfigData("XX-XXXXXXX-X"); 
JGoogleAnalyticsTracker tracker = new JGoogleAnalyticsTracker(config, GoogleAnalyticsVersion.V_4_7_2);
tracker.trackEvent("MyEvent", "MyAction", "Here is a msg");

You can also use the one below which is newer and implements the latest google analytics API but I don't like it because of its dependancies on jlogger library:
