Developer Environment Setup

Instructions for setting up Jmeter-AMF in Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo) on OS X

1. Import the JMeter project from a source distribution or from the Apache SVN site.

• Run ant download_jars to fetch all the required libraries.
• Remove .classpath and replace with eclipse.classpath then refresh project

2. Download the BlazeDS jars/src and add them to the build path for jMeter.

• Note: If targeting a specific application, it is probably a good idea to use a matching BlazeDS version.
• TODO: Turn this into an ant/maven task

3. Clone the git repo to a local directory.
4. Import the source into a new Eclipse project.
5. Set jakarta-jmeter as a required project for jmeter-amf.
6. Make a symlink called 'lib' in jmeter-amf/ and point it to jakarta-jmeter/lib.
7. Refresh and add all of the libs from the jmeter project to the jmeter-amf build path.
8. At this point, both projects should be without build errors.
9. Copy these files from jakarta-jmeter/bin to jmeter-amf/bin:

• jmeter.properties
• saveservice.properties
• system.properties
• upgrade.properties
• user.properties
• TODO: Turn this copy into an ant task

10. Edit jmeter.properties.

• In the log4j section, add log_level.jmeter.protocol.amf=DEBUG
• Uncomment log_file= so that output goes to the Eclipse console
• Uncomment search paths and provide a path to compiled classes, search_paths=../build/protocol/amf;.

11. Create a run configuration for jmeter-amf.

• Set working directory to ${workspace_loc:jmeter-amf/bin}
• Set the main class to org.apache.jmeter.NewDriver
