Hi, I'm looking into AMQP support on ActiveMQ and I've stumbled upon some
mixed signals.

This page claims that ActiveMQ supports AMQP:
http://activemq.apache.org/cross-language-clients.html, however clicking on
the link brings one to a page that states that ActiveMQ does not
actually support AMQP. The page refers to an upcoming 0.10 release of AMQP
(obviously a bit dated) and the desire to integrate into the final version
of AMQP, which since then has been released.

A bit of searching brought me to fairly old mailing list
archives<http://markmail.org/message/i67pn2u3mglcvbb6>where Rob Davies
stated that rewrite of the ActiveMQ broker would be
required to support AMQP, and that it is planned for ActiveMQ 6.
Interestingly there is another evidently dated page about the 6 release -
http://activemq.apache.org/new-features-in-60.html - which refers to a late
2010 release date.

Then there's the Apollo project which *is* in fact a rewrite of ActiveMQ,
making me wonder whether AMQP support will be an aim there.
Can anyone give an update on planned AMQP support in ActiveMQ? Namely is it
still envisioned for ActiveMQ 6? If so, does anyone have any idea when some
kind of ActiveMQ 6 build with AMQP support might surface? Likewise is AMQP
support envisioned for Apollo and if so when might a compatible build be
likely to surface?

Thanks,
John
