• 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/ folderThere is one missing dependency which causes start-up failure with message Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/avalon/excalibur/i18n/ResourceManager if you try to configure logger. Get the jar file from http://mirrors.bevc.net/apache/excalibur/excalibur-i18n/binaries/ and place it to lib/
  • To make logging to Eclipse console work, you need to comment out some code. Read more notes about this below. Class is org.apacha.jmeter.jorphan.logging.LoggingManager
    

	public static void initializeLogging(Properties properties) {
		if (logManager == null) {
			logManager = new LoggingManager();
		}

		/* This following code caused me to lost 3 hours of working time 
		 * and now I am extra frustrated
		 
		setFormat(properties);

		// Set the top-level defaults
		setTarget(makeWriter(properties.getProperty(LOG_FILE, "jmeter.log"), LOG_FILE));
		setPriority(properties.getProperty(LOG_PRIORITY, "INFO"));

		setLoggingLevels(properties);
		// now set the individual categories (if any)
		 * 
		 */

		setConfig(properties);// Further configuration
		
	}

• Now Eclipse should build JMeter without errors (stop icons in source tree)
  

3. Set up your custom plug-in project

5. Also, you might want to modify class

Notes

I wasted 4 hours trying to get Jorphan logging to work. Jorphan overrides log4j normal configuration mechanism, but does it badly, making log activation impossible.

1. There is one missing dependency which causes start-up failure with message Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/avalon/excalibur/i18n/ResourceManager if you try to configure logger. Get the jar file from http://mirrors.bevc.net/apache/excalibur/excalibur-i18n/binaries/ and place it to lib/
   

2. Even after placing a correct logging file through jmeter.properties settings you get this

org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.ConfigurationException: No log targets configured for the root logger.

My head was already hurting so badly that I didn't want to debug the problem further.
