Just adding a bit more, I believe that JMeter don't need to have a web interface coupled to its code, but an extension project to let it be used with a web interface. I understand the point of view of the maintainers of JMeter and know that it will add up a huge piece of code to take care of too.
I think that this new project would be a bit less complex and run by interested community members if JMeter's JMX file had a well-defined schema definition ( http://wiki.apache.org/jmeter/JMeterFAQ#Is_there_a_JMX_Schema.2BAC8-DTD_available.3F ). Sorry for my bad english, it's a work in progress. :) Regards.
