messages_jp.properties getting corrupted after building on windows env

[Sanjeev Anand <Sa...@india.nec.com>]

Hi,

We have downloaded the JMeter latest source code and ran ant install.

After successful install, when we  execute Jmeter.bat file and change the Jmeter language to Japanese under option  dropdown in Jmeter, Japanese contents are not properly displayed( garbage values are appearing).

We followed the above procedure on below environment.

Environment details:
OS: Microsoft Windows 8.1
Locale: en-in
IDE: Eclipse Neon

Please suggest, if somebody faced similar issue.


Regards,
Sanjeev Anand

I think it is a known issue with Ant-based build of JMeter.

Note: current snapshot build looks ok ( see
https://builds.apache.org/job/JMeter-trunk/7220/ )

Would you please try if Gradle-based build solves the problem for you?

Here are the commands:
git clone -b gradle https://github.com/vlsi/jmeter
./gradlew runGui # this would build and run JMeter

Alternative option (instead of runGui) you could just import the project
after the clone and try to build it from Eclipse.

PS. It would be nice if you try Gradle-based build and provide feedback
PPS. Even if you don't try Gradle-based build, JMeter will switch to Gradle
soon, so it makes sense to be prepared :)
PPPS. Gradle is discussed in https://github.com/apache/jmeter/pull/469 and
on the mailing list.
