Has anyone given any thought to allowing the benchmark suite to work with contrib code?
I just started playing with the benchmark contrib last night so that I could use it to gauge the performance of some Highlighter changes. Has someone else done something similar with another contrib package? As a quick-fix to get my Highlight task working, I just changed the build.xml by putting <pathelement location="${benchmark.ext.classpath}"/> in the classpath (it is now just in the run.classpath) and launched the benchmark with benchmark.ext property pointing to the highlighter build dir. Without this, I could of course run the compiled code, but I couldn't compile the HighlightTask. Anyone familiar with the benchmark package think this is the best way to go (frankly, I don't like it)? Or maybe recommend another path? Maybe I am just approaching this wrong? Thanks, - Mark
