Test Plan to load and see effect

Hello,
I noticed a strange behaviour of JMeter when you load a Test Plan.

Try loading attached Test plan, you will notice that:
In 3.1, Implementation property of HTTP Request Defaults and HTTP-Request-XXX are in this order : Java, HttpClient3.1, HttpClient4

Open them in nightly build, as HttpClient3.1 has disappeared, you will get:
Java, Java (BUG HERE, you should get ''), HttpClient4


The problem comes from the code:
httpImplementation.setSelectedItem(samplerBase.getPropertyAsString(HTTPSamplerBase.IMPLEMENTATION));

samplerBase.getPropertyAsString(HTTPSamplerBase.IMPLEMENTATION) => Returns HttpClient3.1 so as per setSelectedItem contract:
"If anObject is not in the list and the combo box is uneditable, it will not change the current selection"

So what happens here is that you get the previous "Java" settings.
Note that bug is really tricky as if first node is HttpClient4, then you will get HttpClient 4 instead of Java.


The fix would be here to add a call to clearGUI() in JMeterTreeModel#addComponent before calling guicomp.configure(component):

But I am not sure this cannot have undesired side effects.
