              <groupId>my.group</groupId>
              <artifactId>my.artifact</artifactId>
          </plugin>
      </jmeterPlugins>
  </configuration>

  • Added the ability to configure the JMeter JVM:

      <configuration>
      <jMeterProcessJVMSettings>
          <xms>1024</xms>
          <xmx>1024</xmx>
          <arguments>
              <argument>-Xprof</argument>
              <argument>-Xfuture</argument>
          </arguments>
      </jMeterProcessJVMSettings>
  </configuration>

  • Issue #82 - Allow users to specify the resultsDir:

      <configuration>

  </configuration>

      <configuration>
      <logConfigFilename>myFile.xml</logConfigFilename>
  </configuration>
