Can jmeter be used to load test native desktop applications?
We have a wintop application written in Java mainly. Can we use Apache jmeter to do load testing of 300 users for desktop application?

If you use command line Parameters, maybe, but it is not made for Testing of GUI Applications. For that, you Need robots like assertj-swing, or what you used for programming.

Use cases for load testing are - login ,search and few clicks. Can this be achieveable?

Depending what you used for the GUI there are some Tools out there. assertj-swing is for Swing applications, it is a fork of FEST. TestFX if you have JavaFX. But for JMeter, there is no way because it cant simulate a mouseclick, or select the Button from a Form and simulate the mouseclick Event etc.

How do you imagine 300 users of a desktop applications? A desktop application is normally being used by 1 user only therefore you rather need to user profiling tools (i.e. JProfiler or YourKit) in order to detect slowest components and perform all the necessary optimisations.
You can use JMeter only in the case when your desktop application relies on backend server(s), in this case you might want to check whether the backend is capable of supporting 300 concurrent desktop applications. Also be aware that you need to assess the network protocol(s) your application uses - JMeter has to support it in order to be used for testing. If you're lucky enough and your application uses HTTP (or HTTPS) protocol - you will even be able to record it using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, check out How to Run Performance Tests of Desktop Applications Using JMeter article for more details.

How do you imagine 300 users of a desktop applications? A desktop application is normally being used by 1 user only therefore you rather need to user profiling tools (i.e. JProfiler or YourKit) in order to detect slowest components and perform all the necessary optimisations.
You can use JMeter only in the case when your desktop application relies on backend server(s), in this case you might want to check whether the backend is capable of supporting 300 concurrent desktop applications. Also be aware that you need to assess the network protocol(s) your application uses - JMeter has to support it in order to be used for testing. If you're lucky enough and your application uses HTTP (or HTTPS) protocol - you will even be able to record it using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, check out How to Run Performance Tests of Desktop Applications Using JMeter article for more details.
