Ot should work in maven 3, but won’t in maven 2.
You should be able to add a specific dependency to perfmon in the plugin by doing:
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>com.lazerycode.jmeter</groupId>
<artifactId>jmeter-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.10.0</version>
<configuration>
<jmeterPlugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>kg.apc</groupId>
<artifactId>perfmon</artifactId>
</plugin>
</jmeterPlugins>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>jmeter-tests</id>
<phase>verify</phase>
<goals>
<goal>jmeter</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>kg.apc</groupId>
<artifactId>perfmon</artifactId>
<version>2.2.2</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
</plugins>
I haven’t tried it myself though.
