Yes I know that plugin exists. I have used it in previous projects and suffered from its shortcomings. See
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!
