3rd party Maven JMeter Plugin 2.6.0 released

[Philippe Mouawad]

Hello,

3rd party JMeter Maven Plugin 2.6.0 has been released with improvement done on dependency management of Test Plan (like test plans using JMS elements).

Release notes:

• Issue #262 Improve management of non plugin related dependencies.

To add to lib folder of Apache JMeter your test dependencies you can now use:

 <testPlanLibraries>
 <artifact>org.apache.activemq:activemq-client:5.15.2</artifact>
 </testPlanLibraries>

• Issue #261 Default values should be improved.

You can read release notes:

• https://github.com/jmeter-maven-plugin/jmeter-maven-plugin/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

Note this version uses JMeter 3.3.

Upgrading from 1.X and older 2.x versions is highly advised as last 2.5/2.6 versions provide:

• ability to generate the new HTML report introduced in JMeter 3.X
• better support of CSV format including the ability to fail build
• Better dependencies management for both extensions and libraries used by test plan like ones using JMS Elements
  
• Many bugfixes
  

It appears old 1.X versions are still and by far the most downloaded version for now. Please spread the message that upgrade should be done.

Please note this project is a 3rd party project and has no direct relation with ASF.

Hi, 

Can you explain the process a little more? I have two dependencies in my Jmeter project they are as follow. I have added .jar dependencies in the lib folder manually when I have to do it with Jmeter GUI execution and it works fine.

<testPlanLibraries>

<artifact>com.codoid.products:fillo:1.16</artifact>

<artifact>org.json:json:20171018</artifact>

</testPlanLibraries>

Do I have to manually add the jar files somewhere in my maven project or how does Maven pulls these libraries automatically? Please suggest.

Much appreciated. Thanks,

Abhash
