What are the nightly builds?
The nightly builds are interim builds that are
untested and unsupported
.
Use at your own risk!
These unreleased builds may not even load, may have undocumented features,
known defects, and any number of other issues.
They are intended for use by developers and others wishing to help with resolving JMeter bugs.
These builds should not be used in production.
Where are the nightly builds?
JMeter CI builds are currently run by Jenkins and Buildbot
These are located at:
What do they consist of?
JMeter is distributed as a set of zip (or tar-gz) archive files.
The files are called:
-
apache-jmeter-{version}_bin.zip - JMeter binaries
-
apache-jmeter-{version}_lib.zip - 3rd party jar files (rarely changes)
-
apache-jmeter-{version}_src.zip - JMeter source
-
apache-jmeter-{version}_api.zip - JMeter Javadoc (if available)
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.
If there is a problem with a particular version,
it may be worth reporting this on the JMeter-dev mailing list and/or trying again in a day or two.
