JDK1.5 for JMeter HEAD?

Can we assume use of jdk1.5+ for JMeter's future release after 2.1?
Anyone have a problem with that?

Just to be clear - this is for the NEXT big release, not for 2.1.  Do
you have an idea when 1.5 would be on OpenVMS?

1.5 is not available on all platforms yet (e.g. OpenVMS)

However I'd be happy with moving to a minimum release of 1.4.

+ on jdk1.5 post 2.1 release. I've been using 1.5 with jmeter and it
does feel snappier using non-scientific human measurement.

after 2.1 :)

Startup scripts (was: JDK1.5 for JMeter HEAD?)

Posted by sebb <se...@gmail.com>.
Fine by me, though I've not had problems with the BAT files.
I suspect the shell scripts are more likely to hit problems.

We should allow users to pass in additional options using a suitable
env. variable, but otherwise it could all be stripped out.

Users can then write their own wrapper script to set the variables and
invoke the supplied scripts if they want.

Probably useful to keep the information on the variables in a separate
text file.

BTW, given all this wrangling over compatibility with jvm versions,
could we nix all the jvm options currently in the jmeter/jmeter.bat
startup scripts?  I always have to edit that file just to run, and it
seems silly to be trying to tweak the options to such a degree for
everyone.  I would think a default memory setting and the "-server"
options would be sufficient.

Re: JDK1.5 for JMeter HEAD?

Posted by sebb <se...@gmail.com>.
I'm happier with that. 
It may turn out that Java 1.5 is only needed for building. 
E.g. Tomcat 5.5.x is intended for running on Java 1.5/5.0, but will
run on earlier versions by downloading an extra package.

==

I think it would be useful to find out users' views on JRE versions,
so I'll post a message to the mailing lists asking what OSes/JVMs
people currently use - and could use.

Re: JDK1.5 for JMeter HEAD?

Posted by Peter Lin <wo...@gmail.com>.
that's what I was thinking.

I'm good that idea. It would allow jmeter to move forward and do
interesting fun stuff.

Re: JDK1.5 for JMeter HEAD?

Posted by Michael Stover <ms...@apache.org>.
So, just to clarify, the suggestion here is make HEAD use jdk1.5 with an
eventual JMeter 3.0 release.  Leave the 2.1 branch to be jdk1.4
compatible and make continuing 2.x releases from there.

I'm willing to do, say, weekly merges from 2.1 to HEAD to support this.
Most of my new work would go in HEAD.  I would expect Sebb would mostly
work in 2.1, and Peter would probably split his time.  Eventually, we'd
have two concurrent JMeter versions - 3.x and 2.x.

How do people feel about that?

-Mike

Re: JDK1.5 for JMeter HEAD?

Posted by Peter Lin <wo...@gmail.com>.
+

it would be good to know.  Plus, I'm willing to maintain the 2.x line
and potential jdk5 version which maybe version 3 or 4.

other projects have multiple versions like axis, tomcat, jstl, etc.

Re: JDK1.5 for JMeter HEAD?

Posted by sebb <se...@gmail.com>.
HP have just released a beta version of JDK 1.5 for OpenVMS. It is
likely to be some months before a full version is released. There is
as yet not even a beta for Tru 64 Unix nor for OpenVMS I64 (Itanium).

However, it may not just be those OSes that have yet to get a 1.5 JVM.

I think we need to find out how many people would be affected by this proposal.

Right - that's a completely different issue than having to install them
on "servers" remotely or corporations that won't allow developers to
install 1.5 on their machines (wtf?).  I really don't intend to hold
back for the sake of irrational fears about just installing 1.5 on a
random machine.

So anyway, back to my question - any idea when vms will get jdk1.5 for
it?  The next big release of JMeter won't be for a long time, if history
is any indication of the future.

Re: JDK1.5 for JMeter HEAD?

Not sure what Tomcat has to do with it. And the problem is that some
OSes don't yet have a 1.5 JVM.

If 1.5 is required to build JMeter, that's OK, but it's not OK for us
if JMeter requires 1.5 in order to run.

Re: JDK1.5 for JMeter HEAD?

one potential way around that would be to include just the JRE with
tomcat. What do others think about that?

I understand the desire to stick to 1.4.2 for backward compatability.

Re: JDK1.5 for JMeter HEAD?

Posted by sebb <se...@gmail.com>.
Our desktops are located far away (physically and network-wise) from
the servers we want to test, so the network overhead would be too
great to use them to drive our server testing.

So although JMeter is not a server app, we actually use it on a server
(in non-GUI mode).

Yes, that is true. But many corporations that I have worked with will 
not have Java 5 on their client- or servermachines for some time. Some 
have just switched to 1.4 a year ago. ;-)

To support these users a minimum of JDK 1.4 seems reasonable.

JMeter is not a server app, however.  It's a client app and users can
install jdk1.5 on their client machines without affecting the servers
being tested.  After all, JMeter is not about testing JAVA apps, it's
about testing servers that may not even be running Java code or have any
JVM installed.

I think it will take a long time before all userss will upgrade to Java 
5, therefore I think that the minimum should be at least 1.4 for the 
next release.
