AllTests searches the classpath for classes that extend TestCase. But, it
only searches those segments of the classpath that you specify (prevents
searching sun's classes needlessly). I would suggest modifying
jmeter.properties to include a directory or jar where you want your test
cases to live during development. The "search_paths" property indicates
where JMeter should look for classes. By default, it searches the current
directory and ApacheJMeter.jar. If you want a different directory to be
searched, add it to both your classpath and to this property. Actually, I
think and "ext" directory under JMeter would be a good idea - people like
yourself could add their own extensions onto JMeter. I would write the
jmeter script file to include all jars from "ext", and I would modify
jmeter.properties to include jakarta-jmeter/ext as a directory to search.
That way, all elements you dropped into that directory would be found by the
gui automatically. When you finish your new sampler, I may want to do that.
Thanks for your other suggestions - I will try to incorporate them.
