If you are using JMeter 2.10, it's better to upgrade to 2.11

I also faced same problem.So,i upgrade java 1.6 to 1.7 then the problem is resolved

or else

you can try this

set the java path in jmeter.bat file like

example

set JAVA_HOME=c:\programfiles\java\jdk1.7

set path=%path%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin
