Scandalous - you're suggesting I should actually understand things before making wide sweeping statements? :) Hopefully I'll get better at that (understanding - expect the statements to continue) - my last job involved lots of JMS and I always had a todo of looking to see how easy it would be to move to ActiveMQ [not that I could have achieved that politically - we'd moved from JBossMQ to Fiorano a few years previously]. Even been writing a simple JMS implementation recently, though more as an exercise and excuse to work with an old friend than a serious project. I'd meant it to refer to ActiveCluster/ActiveIO as well; but good to know OpenWire isn't a subproject of ActiveMQ.
