JMeter plugin - what is "jpgc - Standard Set" plugin

Question

In JMeter Plugins Manager there's an option to add "jpgc - Standard Set"

Virtual package, select to install its dependencies

What is the usage of such plugin ? is it the default plugin for some flow? is it internal plugin?

I don't find any documentation on it in https://jmeter-plugins.org

Answer 1

It’s virtual in the sense that it is not a plugin but a way to install a set of plugins by using dependencies installation mechanism :

• jpgc-dummy => Dummy Sampler
• jpgc-casutg => Thread groups
• jpgc-tst => Throughput Shaping Timer
• jpgc-graphs-basic=> 3 basic graphs
• jpgc-ffw => Flexible File writer
• jpgc-fifo => Inter-Thread communication
• jpgc-perfmon => perfmon
• jpgc-function => functions of jpgc

I guess it exists because historically, plugins were distributed in 3 bundles:

• standard
• extra
• full
