Hi Craig I believe there was a problem with a trailing space in jmeter.properties after the xml.parser property value. Could you check this, if it is there then remove it.

I've encountered the same problem under both Win2k and RH Linux 7.0 both using Sun's JDK1.3. I'm launching JMeter using the unmodified jmeter batch/shell script and jmeter.properties provided with the application. The following is the exact text of the message: Error loading class org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser : class is not found java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.jmeter.gui.action.Load.doAction(Load.java:126) at org.apache.jmeter.gui.action.ActionRouter.actionPerformed(ActionRouter.java: 94) at javax.swing.AbstractButton.fireActionPerformed(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.AbstractButton$ForwardActionEvents.actionPerformed(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.DefaultButtonModel.fireActionPerformed(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.DefaultButtonModel.setPressed(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.AbstractButton.doClick(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicMenuItemUI$MouseInputHandler.mouseReleased(Unkno wn Source) at java.awt.Component.processMouseEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.processEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.processEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.retargetMouseEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.processMouseEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Window.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Unknown Source) Initially, I believed I simply had a problem with my CLASSPATH. Unfortunately after running several variations of jmeter.bat wherein I explicitly listed each jar the problem recurred. To ensure my path settings were correct I downloaded/installed/ran JMeter 1.6 with no problems. I could save/load without incident. A co-worker is experiencing the same problem so this leads me to believe there is a problem with the application. Any advice would be appreciated.
