I just looked the HtmlUnit and the dependent jars. This could create a problem:

jaxen-1.1.1.jar                            not used by Jmeter
commons-collections-3.2.jar       same as Jmeter
commons-lang-2.3.jar                 same as Jmeter
commons-httpclient-3.0.1.jar       Jmeter uses commons-httpclient-3.1.jar
comons-codec-1.3.jar                 same as Jmeter
js-1.6R5.jar Jmeter us js_rhino1_6R5 (not sure this is the same thing or not)
xercesImpl-2.6.2.jar                    Jmeter uses xercesImpl.jar
xmlParserAPIs-2.6.2.jar             not used by Jmeter
nekohtml-0.9.5.jar                      not used by Jmeter
commons-logging-1.1.jar            same as Jmeter
commons-io-1.3.1.jar                 same as Jmeter

Subject: Re: Re[2]: Interest for a combination of JMeter with HtmlUnit / WebTest for AJAX load testing?


I think that adding extra processing to JMeter to deal with processing
client-side Javascript is counter-productive in general.

Although it would be convenient for some tests, it's a waste to keep
reprocessing the Javascript in order to decide what URL to sample next
- or to keep scanning the HTML to find out how to submit a particular
form. Using the JMeter Proxy to record the session allows the work to
be done by the browser when creating the test plan; it does not have
to be repeated for every test.

However, if anyone wants to develop an HtmlUnit sampler it could be
done as an optional plugin.

The HtmlUnit API seems fairly straight-forward - it could be called
from a BeanShell sampler, at least as proof of concept.

But I suspect that designing a GUI for it would not be trivial.
