@FSchumacher (migrated from Bugzilla): The installation seems to replace replace the core jar from JMeter from an otherwise (to us) unknown installation (of an older version of JMeter?). That might cause a lot of problems.
Such an installation method is definitely not a good idea and I am unsure, if we can help you here at all.
Have you contacted the authors of the thirdparty plugin you want to use?
PS. the logging inside JMeter has seen some changes in the past. It should not affect normal plugins (well, it had, but that was fixed).
Rohit Sarkar (migrated from Bugzilla): @Felix Schumacher This plugin I am using is made by my group but for the Version 3.3. I am trying to use this plugin for Version 5.4.3 but as you can see its not working. Can you please share a link or some information to make changes in the .jar file through which I can provide support for the plugin for version 5.4.3

@FSchumacher (migrated from Bugzilla): If you made the plugin yourself, I would start by building it again, but changing the dependencies to a more current version.
If you want to have more details, you will have to share more details on your build process.
Some general tips:
- A normal plugin should not include any classes from JMeter in its own jar file.
- Check all dependencies in your build chain, if they are still good to use with JMeter (we have updated dependencies since 3.3 and will continue doing so).
- An install script for plugins should probably "just" install the new dependencies (your jar and your dependencies) to a fresh JMeter installation.
