Thanks for the feedback. May I suggest you update the JMeter FAQ with this information? > > There are two zip files to download from the Apache site, JMeter source > and binary. The problem is that there are files regarding Eclipse that > are in one zip and not in the other. Yes, you need both in order to do a build. Otherwise the source archive would have been a lot bigger. > That's what I did (as I recall it, because I try to solve it in lots of > ways): > > 1. extracted the bin zip file, generate a '.project' file and rename > the 'eclipse.classpath' to '.classpath' file Eclipse should generate the project file if you create a Java project. You can then import the contents of the zips. The eclipse.classpath file is to save (most of) the hassle of configuring the project by hand, but it still needs to be tweaked for the optional jars. > > 2.

Look guys, There is some information on the JMeter FAQ about developing with Eclipse. Perhaps you like to update it. > I appreciate your work and I know it's an open source, but I believe > that a simple comprehensive file shouldn't take more then half an hour > of your time, and it will help many users that maybe don't work with > JMeter because they are not familiar with Eclipse like you are. So? It's up to developers what they use. For example, JMeter builds fine using Ant. > Never the less, I thank you very much for developing JMeter, it's a > great tool, but it will be a shame if ppl are not using it because of > those reasons, so easy for you to resolve. > Or now you could resolve it :-) (by updating the FAQ) > Eitan > > -- > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
