My thoughts exactly. What I'm thinking of is an ant task that would catalog all the searched classes and create an XML description file. This would add one task to the developer's list of things to do: 1.drop jar file into /lib/ext. 2. run 'build catalog' And, once there's an ant task working, I see no real reason why the same code couldn't be run from a menu option in JMeter. Thus, if you forgot step #2 and you already started JMeter, then you select "catalog" from the menu and JMeter refreshes itself. But, in the meantime, JMeter's startup time is greatly reduced. > > [BTW: I created a new "local" source tree, which is built into > ApacheJMeter_local.jar. > If anyone thinks it would be useful, I can tweak the amended version of > build.xml for more general use. > Or a separate build_local.xml if that is more convenient.] > > Thoughts?
