The addition of a "comments" field for the test plan was a step in the right direction. However, it would be great if we could get the same thing for all test elements.
Created attachment 19323 [details] Addition of "comments" field for all test elements The attached zip file contains a number of patches for existing source files as well as two new files. I did a bit of refactoring to the NamePanel and extracted as much code into an abstract superclass as could possibly be reused by the new CommentPanel class. Moreover, I enhanced the JTree in the MainFrame class a bit to display the test elements' comments as tool tips. I think that the number of rows (3) I picked for the comment field is a good compromise, however, other people might have other views on this. Finally, the real pita is going to be the update to the documentation (dozens of new screen shots in section 18 of the user's manual...)
Created attachment 19339 [details] Update all GUI elements to correctly show the new comments field Some existing GUI elements do not show the new comments field introduced in the first patch fo this enhancement request. The attached ZIP file contains 22 patches to the GUI element classes that failed to do so; with these, all JMeter elements should now correctly display the comments field.
Thanks. The feature has been added to SVN and will appear in the next release of JMeter
