| ## 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](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 |
| 1. Use `dist` for `Project` |
| 1. Use `org.apache.jmeter.NewDriver` for the main class |
| 1. On the arguments tab use the following for `Working Directory`: `${workspace_loc:jmeter/bin}` |
