New JMeter Skin

2010-11-02 Thread Joe Rice
Hi,

I have been an avid JMeter user / fan for years.  I would like to port
JMeter from Swing to SWT (eclipse) to give it a fresh interface and also
allow eclipse plugin support.  I also have a number of suggested
improvements around managing load test runs, but first things first.  First
step would be a port to Eclipse.

I am setting up a Google Code project to accomplish this.  Before getting
too far, I wanted to get feedback  acceptance from the community on this
idea.  If there is anyone interested in helping, that would be awesome, too
:-).

thoughts?

Thanks,

Joe

JMeter is intended to be a pure Java application so that it runs on
any compliant JVM.
However SWT is not pure Java and is not supported on as many platforms
as Swing, so would not be acceptable for the JMeter project.

Likewise, JMeter is not currently tied to any IDE.
An optional Eclipse add-on would of course be OK.

 Thanks,

 Joe
