  1. With regards to "tools.jar" message it indicates that your Java installation differs from what Ant expects, probably you didn't select option to install Public JRE during Java setup. So the options are in:

    • Either re-install Java with Public JRE now (and preferably to the location which doesn't contain spaces or national characters in its path)
    • Or ignore the warning, it should not have impact on JMeter
  2. Manipulations with copying "extras" folder are not necessary, you can verify that JMeter Ant Task is working by just running ant inside "Extras" folder, assuming everything goes well it should generate Test.html file there

Also be aware that starting from JMeter 3.0 there is an option to generate HTML Reporting Dashboard with way more detailed information than Ant task provides.
