Jmeter + Maven: how to add a jar file to JMeter /lib/ext folder

Question

I have a Jmeter-Maven project and I'd like to put a modified jar file in "/lib/ext" folder.

I've added it to “/src/test/jmeter/lib/ext”, but seems it doesn't work.

Do I need to add dependencies to my POM file or so?

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for answers!

Answer 1

You can add libraries to "lib/ext" folder as follows:

<configuration>
    <jmeterExtensions>
        <artifact>kg.apc:jmeter-plugins-casutg:2.4</artifact>
    </jmeterExtensions>
</configuration>

Replace kg.apc:jmeter-plugins-casutg:2.4 with your own artifact in form of:

groupId:artifactId:version

Answer 2

You can add the JAR files by the following ways:

• You can either add the jar files from jmeter installations into the
  build path of the project
• You can make things easier by adding the maven dependencies in POM.

Add the below dependency in POM.xml file
