This is very simple to check. xpp3_min-1.1.4c.jar jar contains only org/xmlpull/... classes. $ git grep xmlpull checksum.xml: <dependency group='xmlpull' module='xmlpull' version='1.1.3.1'> gradle.properties:xmlpull.version=1.1.3.1 lib/aareadme.txt:xmlpull-1.1.3.1 lib/aareadme.txt:http://www.xmlpull.org/impls.shtml src/bom/build.gradle.kts: apiv("xmlpull:xmlpull") That is it. JMeter source code does not use org.xmlpull. classes, so xpp3:xpp3_min dependency should not be added. The same thing is for other dependencies. Please revert the changes that add the dependencies.
