This is very generic name for plugin. As i understand it tied to jmeter, better name it like jmeter-results-plugin or jmeter-something-plugin

Great idea!

I suggest calling it jmeter-report-plugin since that's what it handles.

In fact, the name "performance-plugin" is generic enough that a plugin already exists with that name:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Performance+Plugin
And this one is doing performance report based on JMeter results (seems like yours) and is maintained.
It's not great to have two plugins with the same description. So, would it be possible to enhance and add your features in the existing plugin, for example with github pull requests?
A discussion may happen with the maintainer of the existing plugin.

Yes I know that plugin exists. I have used it in previous projects and suffered from its shortcomings. See https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-20848 and https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-22385 for more info on the issues I faced. As you can see, one of the tickets is more than 12 months old. 

I decided to write my own plugin to solve my problem and figured I would share it with the community. I understand that having two plugins with the same name / purpose isn't ideal and that the current plugin has been adopted and has more functionality. If it was fixed that would be great.

If you think having two plugins that competes with each other is bad then I guess you have to decide which on you wan't to push. If nothing else I will host my plugin on my site and hope that a search engine picks it up. Maybe someone else can use it to do long running JMeter testing without crashing Jenkins.

Let me know if you wan't to host my plugin, I will be glad to share it!

Regards,

 - Patrik

It would be great if the existing plugin could be improved for those issues, via github pull requests.
If it can not, I would like to here the maintainer of that plugin and / or other devs about hosting another plugin.

Please be patient,
Emeric

+1 for integrating changes into the existing plugin.
Patrik's implementation is quite different, but seems there's no technical showstoppers.
The original plugin's backend can be reworked and release as performance-2.x
