Hi Jesse If I understand You correctly, there is a misunderstanding here. Let me attempt to explain:
The name chronos is NOT in any way associated to any organization or product - a few companies of that name do exist, but chronos is not related to any of these in any way. The name was originally inspired by greek mythology, the 'personification of time' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronos and is not in any way linked to the original sponsors of the code. The original sponsor is a Danish governmental organization paying for most of the work prior to the donation to Codehaus in 2008. They have not ben related to any work performed since that. The prefix chronos now exists to show the relationship between the testing and the reporting parts, in the same way as for the surefire plugin. The 2 plugins share information in an internal xml format (as does the surefire plugin), which is not in any way linked to jmeter, thus the reporting part is completely jmeter independent. The name chronos-jmeter-maven-plugin was chosen for the testing part, since it is in fact jmeter-specific. I believe a name like, say chronos-test-maven-plugin should be reserved for a (hypothetical) future plugin which might automatically chose between jmeter and grinder (and possibly other tools). In the future there might be chronos-report-maven-plugin: for creating reports chronos-jmeter-maven-plugin: for testing with jmeter chronos-grinder-maven-plugin: for testing with grinder chronos-test-maven-plugin: for automatically choosing between jmeter and grinder (or others) and in principle other plugins for testing with commercial performancetesttools, all communicating in the same internal xml format with the reporting part. I honestly think the naming is quite good. Does this answer Your concern? /Kent Den 25/10/2011 kl. 16.37 skrev Jesse Farinacci: > On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 10:31 AM, Kent Sølvsten <[email protected]> wrote: >> The Chronos plugin was donated to the sandbox 3 years ago.
