            Bug ID: 60588
           Summary: Please enable adding custom Look & Feels
           Product: JMeter
           Version: 3.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Main
          Assignee: issues@jmeter.apache.org
          Reporter: habubu@mailinator.com
  Target Milestone: ---

I tried adding some JARs of some 3rd party L&F libraries - I simply placed them
in the "lib" directory and then closed JMeter GUI and launched it again.

The new Look & Feels did NOT appear in the list under "Options"->"Look and
Feel". I can think of two possible reasons (maybe both are correct, maybe
neither..):

1. JMeter does not scan the whole CLASSPATH on startup, trying to find all the
available Look & Feels, but instead it uses a constant list of Look & Feels -
such that there is no way to add a custom Look & Feel without changing the code
and recompiling JMeter.

2. The placement of the JARs in the "lib" directory does not automatically add
them to CLASSPATH, so even if JMeter does scan CLASSPATH classes, the 3rd party
libraries will not be scanned as it is not enough to just place them in the
"lib" directory - need to specify additional switches to JVM when starting
JMeter.



I'll be glad if you could tell if any of those reasons is correct and to tell
how I can add the 3rd party L&F or add the possibility to do it in the next
version.

Thanks!

I can't see a special handling for any L&F. Can you provide the one you are
trying to use? Are there any entries in the log files?
