Mac OS 10.5.7 update broke JMeter

Posted on August 03, 2009 in Fix-it

The latest Java update from Apple broke JMeter... not sure why but JMeter needs Java 1.5. Add this line near the top of your jakarta-jmeter-2.X.X/bin/jmeter file using your handy dandy text editor. I like TextWrangler.

JAVA_HOME="/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5"

If you use any of the other jmeter run scripts you may need to add this to them as well.
