Hi My name is Nicolas De loof, I'm a Maven committer and a jMeter user, with even more usage of this nice tool. I'm french, so please apology for my ugly english ;)
As jMeter 2.4 is just released, I think it's a good time to consider switching the build to use Maven, or maybe just consider Maven as an alternative build tool. As the ant script allready uses many properties, that will only require some minor folder changes. Building tools around jMeter (maven plugin, Hudson plugin, ...) requires jMeter artifacts to be available on maven repository. Nowaday users have to install them manually and can't take advantage of dependency resolution. There is also no "official" maven plugin to support performance testing during build (typically, continuous performance testing on nightly builds). Maybe this could be part of the roadmap. WDYT ? Best regards, Nicolas
