Sorry, I'm not being clear. With the maven plugin I've been tweaking they aren't in a lib/ext directory because it doesn't exist. I was sending everything over the classpath, but that is obviously not going to work so instead I'm making the plugin create a lib/ext dir and copying the JMeter component artefacts that the plugin references into it.
This is probably more of a mavenised JMeter issue than anything else because you don't know where the jars are physically held and you need to rely on maven telling you. With a standard implementation of JMeter this is unlikely to be a problem as everything is already in the correct place. The advantage to adding this to the normal JMeter implementation would be that you wouldn't have to put components in the lib/ext directory for them to be automatically picked up, it would be able to use anything on the classpath. -----Original Message----- From: sebb [mailto:seb...@gmail.com] Sent: 11 January 2012 15:19 To: dev@jmeter.apache.org Subject: Re: CompoundVariable classfinder.functions On 11 January 2012 15:14, Mark Collin <m...@ardescosolutions.com> wrote: > In that case it would seem like the path of least resistance is to > copy all JMeter component jars into the lib/ext folder.
