In which case there's no point trying to avoid creation of the certificate. > Perhaps, start Recorder without https support, and if a https url is > detected, then display a message (pop-up in JMeter or a log message) I don't think that would work.

There is no longer any SSL certificate provided with JMeter. Either the user must create their own, or they must use a Java installation that supports keytool.
