            Bug ID: 59937
           Summary: Popup menus could be better user friendly by providing
                    submenus
           Product: JMeter
           Version: 3.0
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Main
          Assignee: issues@jmeter.apache.org
          Reporter: vherilier@gmail.com

JMeter components are provided in popup menu by categories (Threads, Test
Fragment...). It could be very useful to allow a mechanism to insert
subcategories to group close kind of components under a same submenu.
For example, HTTP config elements (Authorization Manager, Cache Manager...)
could be provided under Add/Config/HTTP/.
It could be interesting for external plugins.

I saw that the method getMenuCategories is involved in components positioning
into the popup menus.
Could be a getSubMenuCategories a solution to handle related components
grouping into submenus.
For testbeans-made components, the BeanDescriptor "shortDescriptionn" that is
unused may help in naming such subcategories.

Anyway, a sub classification (plugin related) may ease JMeter usage in GUI
mode.

Hello,
I suggest you open a discussion on dev mailing list.

This has been discussed in a previous thread, it is interesting but the
proposed solution introduces yet another hover on subcategory which slows down
addition of Test elements.

Thanks
