Launching Apache JMeter from Eclipse

You can use the Gradle task runGui to run the JMeter GUI, or you can follow the instructions below to add a Java Application launch, which will for example, allow you to use the debugger to run JMeter.

These instructions assume you have configured Eclipse to use the classpath as suggested in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Launching from Eclipse

Note: you can use Gradle task runGui to start JMeter, however Eclipse does not support debugging of the Gradle tasks.

Alternative option is to create a Launch Configuration:

1. Create a new Java Application launch configuration
2. Use dist for Project
3. Use org.apache.jmeter.NewDriver for the main class
4. On the arguments tab use the following for Working Directory: ${workspace_loc:jmeter/bin}
