Hello, Thanks for the release ! I notice a first problem with plugins manager , if we install it , jmeter does not start with this error:
- First, I think we should not fail if 3rd party plugin has an issue - What should we do with this ? Reintroduce the class we removed ? or propose a PR to plugins manager ?
