Where are the nightly builds?
There are at present two sources of nightly builds:
What do they consist of?
JMeter is distributed as a set of zip (or tar or tar-gz) archive files.
The files are called:
-
jakarta-jmeter-{version}_bin.zip - JMeter binaries
-
jakarta-jmeter-{version}_lib.zip - 3rd party jar files
-
jakarta-jmeter-{version}_src.zip - JMeter source
-
jakarta-jmeter-{version}_api.zip - JMeter Javadoc
Installing JMeter runtime
Download the _bin and _lib files
Unpack the archives into the same directory structure
The other archives are not needed to run JMeter.
Warning - please note!
The nightly builds may or may not work properly - or at all.
Check the corresponding test log (if it still exists) to see if the build has any major problems.
If there is a problem with a particular version, it may be worth trying again in a day or two.
