I've apache-jmeter-5.0.tgz (macOS 10.13.6), and 1) It is OK with Java 1.8 2) In Java 1.9 and 10 main menu disappears after I click "Help -> Create a thread dump". Menu re-appears when I click "JMeter -> About JMeter" (the very first item that is always there). Well, thread dump collection from the UI is definitely not a main use case, however I wonder if other actions could dodge the menu. UI without menu is not fun.
3) It fails to start with Java 11: java.lang.module.FindException: Module java.activation not found There are 16 days until Java 11 is officially released. Do we really want to ship Java11-incompatible JMeter? It looks like we can just avoid adding "--add-modules java.activation" for Java 11+ If I remove that, JMeter looks fine in Java 11 (of course send email sampler won't work, however I think it is a valid trade-off). The next point regarding Java11 is OpenJDK 11 does not bundle JavaFX, so JavaFX-based renderers do not work with either. I'm +0.5 re the release, however it is a bit strange to release a version without (even partial) Java 11 support. Minor issue: png files in docs/images/screenshots/changes/5.0 are not optimized (they consume 1'480'400, and optimized ones would take 623'800) It looks like we should run "find . -name '*.png' -print0 | xargs -0 -P8 -L1 pngquant --ext .png --force" once in a while Vladimir
