New Apache JMeter Blog
Hi,
We have started a new Apache JMeter blog at
http://jmeter-expert.blogspot.com
The initial focus of the blog will be to provide very basic getting started
articles. Many steps which are obvious but may be not known to new
learners. I will keep watch on the mailing list and pick topics which are
asked often. The focus will be more towards Testers and Quality Analysts
who may not be Java developers.
One more objective of the blog is to aggregate common available information
at one place so later this blog may become a reference for Apache JMeter.
Once we publish enough elementary level articles we will move on to more
technical and developer oriented articles and that time we will also
contribute to Apache JMeter wiki.
with regards
Tushar

Please do fix the text; it's misleading.
It's not clear that JMeter 2.3.4 will run on Java 1.4

Now the blog has text like this:
Apache JMeter runs on a fully compliant JVM 1.4 or higher. (It is found that
some early versions of Java 1.5 below update 7 do not recognize some JVM
switches and hence the jmeter.bat script file needs some changes to run
JMeter, described at the end of post).
and this:
NOTE: Although Apache JMeter can run on any fully compliant Java version
above Java 1.4 (It is found that some early versions of Java 1.5 below
update 7 do not recognize some JVM switches and hence the jmeter.bat script
file needs some changes to run JMeter. If you happen have early Java 1.5
version below update 7 then you may get error when double clicking the
jmeter.bat file. The error can be fixed by commenting line "set
DUMP=-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError" in the jmeter.bat file. Open the
jmeter.bat file by right clicking and choosing Edit option. add REM before
that line and you are ready to go.
Is this ok?

That is not true; Java 1.4 recognises the switch.

Misleading.

No, it does not.
I repeat:
JMeter 2.3.4 will run on Java 1.4 without needing to tweak the command file.
However, there are a few early versions of Java 1.5 that don't support
the command-line flag.

I have updated the post with following text:
If the command works Java is installed and you will also know the version of
Java. If we need Java 1.5 update 7 or above for the JMeter executable
script jmeter.bat, as it contains some JVM switches which are not recognized
by lower versions of Java. If the Java version is below 1.5 update 7, the
script for starting JMeter needs some tweaking (described at the end of
post).
Hope this clears the confusion.

Actually I have mentioned exactly this:
If the command works Java is installed and you will also know the version of
Java. We need Java 1.5 update 7 or above. If the Java version is below 1.5
update 7, the script for starting JMeter needs some tweaking.
If this text is giving impression that only Java 1.5 update 7 is needed,
then I will think of changing the text to make it more precise.
Thanks for quick feedback.

The blog says the Java 1.5 update 7 is required to run JMeter 2.3.4.
That is not the whole story - 2.3.4 will run fine using Java 1.4.
It's just that some early versions of Java 1.5 did not support the
-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError option.
