Recently I looked at JMeter with respect to automated load testing of applications 
with particular interest in collection of data to files for later analysis. In this 
respect it is the non-gui functionality of JMeter that interested me most. Whilst I 
know Java well at the server side, I am no Swing developer. So If the following is way 
off the mark please forgive and set me right. A few weeks ago a brief look at the 
code, with the intention of writing assertion results to a FileReporter, seemed to 
suggest that data is very closely coupled to Swing models - is this correct?

If my assumptions are right, this design is understandable since as I understand the 
non-gui mode of JMeter came as add on of JMeter as a Swing App. However, I think the 
non-gui mode is very valuable as as such wonder if there are any roadmap plans to 
divorce the model data of Swing? This issue has come to my attention again after 
reading a couple of articles on IBM's DeveloperWorks site:

Intelligent data keeps Swing simple

Swing model filtering

Looking forward to response.

PS. Is this sort of thread better posted on other JMeter forum?
PPS. Is there a DTD for .jmx files?
