Remote servers not started from configuration

See original GitHub issue

Been trying to get the execution off localhost and distributed to 5 nodes. All machines have matching Java Version 1.7.0.51, using latest JMeter plugin 1.9.0, JMeter version 2.9. Tests are working through normal command line execution on a remote execution box e.g.

jmeter -n -t remoteTest.jmx -r (where it picks up the remote_hosts values). And works by specifying the host with -R.

However using the JMeter plugin I’m failing to get a test started on the same remote host(s):

With the remote config option, and the remote_hosts set with

 <remoteConfig>
     <startServersBeforeTests>true</startServersBeforeTests>
     <stopServersAfterTests>true</stopServersAfterTests>
     <serverList>STOM1111</serverList>
 </remoteConfig>



<remote_hosts>STOM1111</remote_hosts>


I get this error if the jmeter remote server isn't running:
