JMeter Plugins Manager

Apache JMeter Plugin community, recently launched JMeter Plugins Manager. The actual purpose of this is to easily install / uninstall JMeter plugins using JMeter UI. It automatically adds plugins instead of doing it manually.

By using this you can manage plugins from jmeter-plugins.org, different third-party plugins and core JMeter plugins.
