Description Dan Corneanu 2011-12-03 21:20:43 UTC

I find myself many times, browsing for a test plan (jmx file) using the system's file browser, then in order to load it into JMeter, I do the same thing once again from the JMeter's file browser.

I would very much appreciate to have support for Draging and Dropping files from the system's file browser directly into JMeter.

The implementation could be as simple as:
1. accepting only single file selectionis
2. accepting only *.jmx files
3. always performing a Load action (not a Merge action)

Dragging and Dropping files to JMeter

This is a quick hack that adds support for Dragging and Dropping files to JMeter.
The  patch adds a TopLevelTransferHandler to the MainFrame. The transfer handler handles file drops.

The new class org.apache.jmeter.gui.action.LoadDraggedFile is a big hack. It was added to this package just to open up access to the Close and Load Command(s). How can this be implemented in a clean way, reusing the Close and Load command?

1. would it be better to add a new Command for handling file drops? kind of like LoadRecentProject.
2. How can the Transferable object from the TopLevelTransferHandler be passed to the new command?

Thanks for the patch.
Applied with minor changes:
- Javadocs
- Apache Headers
- Added check for Dnd file to ensure it's a JMX Plan
