If JMeter is used without some of the optional jars (e.g. mail, jms or bsh), then it will work OK so long as the relevant test elements are not in the test plan and no attempt is made to add them. Some warning messages may be logged.
However, JMeter does not behave consistently when attempting to use missing optional jars. In some cases, if the optional jars are missing, then the test elements don't appear in the menus, in other cases the menu items appear, but attempts to add them to the plan may fail. Also, if one tries to load an exisiting test plan which refers to an optional component, all sorts of errors can be logged, and the plan may not load completely. I'd like to tidy this up a bit - but what should the strategy be? If a jar is missing, should the corresponding menu items be present or not? If the menu item is present, what should happen when the user tries to add it? If an existing test plan refers to missing jars, what should be the behaviour? It may not be possible to tidy this up completely, but it would be useful to know what to aim for. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
