JMeter is currently in a state where it won't run unless the user has jsse jars installed. JMeter should run fine without these encryption packages, but JMeterMenuBar is now dependent on those classes being available. This is true even after I modified SSLManager to compile without Iaik package.
I think I may have resolved this, and it at least does not require IAIK installed. Please let me know how it all works for you.
When I rename the 3 JSSE files to: /lib/jsse.jarxx /lib/jcert.jarxx /lib/jnet.jarxx And comment out any SSL lines in the /bin/jmeter.properties file... It compiles OK, but won't start-up. Instead I get: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError at org.apache.jmeter.gui.JMeterMenuBar.createMenuBar(JMeterMenuBar.java:314) at org.apache.jmeter.gui.JMeterMenuBar.<init>(JMeterMenuBar.java:116) at org.apache.jmeter.gui.MainFrame.init(MainFrame.java:173) at org.apache.jmeter.gui.MainFrame.<init>(MainFrame.java:94) at org.apache.jmeter.NewDriver.main(NewDriver.java:90) IAIK is not installed on my system either.
I fixed the part where it won't start up. It is still supplying the SSLManager option on the menu, so I am going to fix that next.
SSLManager is not installed if no support is detected.
Marking all bugs RESOLVED before JMeter 1.8's release date as VERIFIED. Yes, it's pretty poor QA procedure, but there's bugs here lingering since JMeter 1.6, and we need to clean up a little.
