= Building JMeter plug-in with Eclipse

Targetted to Eclipse 3.1 and JMeter 2.1 trunk version.

Check out JMeter trunk from Subversion
- Get Subclipse plug-in for Eclipse
- Check out http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/jmeter/trunk as jmeter-trunk Java project

2. Set up jmeter-trunk project

Let Eclipse internal compiler handle the building of JMeter
Source build paths:
src/protocol/ftp
test/src
src/protocol/http
src/protocol/java
src/protocol/jdbc
src/protocol/tcp
src/monitor/components
src/monitor/model
src/components
src/core
src/examples
src/functions
src/htmlparser
src/jorphan
src/junit
src/reports
- Exclude following files from building
  - They have missing dependencies and are related to HTTP security which you are not probably interested in
  - org/apache/jmeter/util/JsseSSLManager.java
  - org/apache/jmeter/util/keystore/DefaultKeyStore.java
  - org/apache/jmeter/util/keystore/PKCS12KeyStore.java
- Add libraries
  - All jar files under lib/ folder
- Now Eclipse should build JMeter without errors (stop icons in source tree)

3. Set up your custom plug-in project

Create a new Java project
Add jmeter-trunk to project dependencies
Create bin/ and src/ folders
Create "jmeter.properties" in the bin/
- This defines where JMeter internal class loader looks for classes
- It should look like this

search_paths=../../jmeter-trunk/bin/protocol/ftp; \
			 ../../jmeter-trunk/bin/protocol/http; \
			 ../../jmeter-trunk/bin/protocol/java; \
			 ../../jmeter-trunk/bin/protocol/jdbc; \
			 ../../jmeter-trunk/bin/protocol/ldap; \
			 ../../jmeter-trunk/bin/protocol/tcp; \
			 ../../jmeter-trunk/bin/components; \
			 ../../jmeter-trunk/bin/core; \
			 ../../jmeter-trunk/bin/default; \
			 ../../jmeter-trunk/bin/functions; \
			 ../../jmeter-trunk/bin/htmlparser; \
			 ../../jmeter-trunk/bin/jorphan \
			 .

4. Setting up a custom Jakarta launcher

Set working directory to bin/ in your project
Copy lib/ from jmeter-trunk to your plug-in project root
