pop up messages

Hi,

> a) It is about merging functionality from external plug-ins into JMeter
We can discuss it on dev list, as you suggested. Thorough testing should be
done for sure.

As I said, for other plugins we have pop-up error message shown. So, yes both
log message and dialog display should be done. Example images for the Dummy
sampler are in the attachment. You can follow the same pattern as shown in the
images.

Yes, that's right. That is the job of jmeter-plugins-manager-1.6.jar file, I
guess. IDK how it works, since it detects properly which jar file to download
if the plugin is not installed. If pop-up error message is implemented,
probably the change should be done on JMeter plugins side as well - to point to
the corresponding jar file download. The most important thing here is that
JMeter notifies user that functions, that are not part of the core are detected
and that the loaded jmx file won't work as expected.
