[JMeter] Convert to Maven based build?

2010-11-25 Thread Peter Lynch
I am wondering if there is developer support for the idea of converting JMeter's build process to be based on Maven. If there is suitable support of this idea, I was going to start writing a conversion script that would convert the project sources while maintaining as much scm history as possible.

[JMeter] HTTP Sampler consolidation of implementations

2010-11-25 Thread sebb
Just a heads up that I'm currently working on trying to combine the HTTP implementations (Java, HttpClient3) into a single GUI, with run-time choice of implementation. The rationale for this is that HttpClient 4 is now available, and it would be good to add that, but I think we should keep HttpCli

In my experience the value would be for publishing to public repositories, but having tried to go thru the process for sonatype, and failing miserably, i'd second peter's opinion. Maven is just a nasty thing to have to deal with. As i'm just a lurker with regards to jmeter, tho, take my opinio

even though I haven't been active in jmeter in a while, I am still a jmeter committer. quite honestly, I've seen maven work first hand. 1. the claim it reduces maintenance has not truth. My first hand experience is that it creates a much bigger burden. 2. changing the directory structure of jmet

honestly, I don't remember the last time I committed changes for jmeter. it was a bug fix in something I wrote 5-6 years back. I've contributed quite a bit of stuff to jmeter in the past and still use it. For me, jmeter is a mature stable product that meets all of my needs, so I haven't needed any

Truthfully the main motivation for proposing to use Maven to build JMeter is to increase the chances of getting more people involved in the project, to fix bugs, to send patches and add features. Honestly do we expect the majority of potential developers to run for the hills and the project to die

so far I am not convinced of the benefits of changing to maven. my vote is still -1 As I said before, my feeling is jmeter is mature and stable. JMeter isn't missing any critical features and seb has done a phenominal job of maintaining it. It's not like there's 10 critical features JMeter must
