I was earlier looking for a way to read properties from a project-local file for use in a JMeter Test Plan.
I found a plugin that allows you to do this, but I still don't understand why this functionality isn't just supported natively by the standard distribution of JMeter. Is there a reason for this?
As described in the link you provide, the standard way to override properties files is to put them in user.properties.
Note you can also pass properties through command line option:
-q
as per http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/get-started.html#options
If that does not suit your requirement could you give more details about it ?
