The donated HornetQ codebase has essentially served as the foundation for Artemis, although significantly modified. Artemis is currently a parallel project with the current ActiveMQ broker, but my understanding is that the goal is for Artemis to eventually replace the current broker. There's been a lot of back-and-forth on this particular point so I'm sure there are differing opinions out there in the community.
By "we were thinking about converting the code from Scala into Java" means that some thought was given to converting Apollo from Scala into Java but the HornetQ donation rendered that moot. See the original thread for the donation for Hiram's specific comment on that point.

I see the docs say that interoperability with both ActiveMQ and HornetQ is relatively seamless; is that because Artemis folded in the best of both codebases, or simply because the possession of the HornetQ code made it easier to be sure the ActiveMQ code had been made compatible? I think I've seen at least one statement made saying that ActiveMQ 6.0 would be based on HornetQ's codebase; is Artemis the official vehicle for that (i.e. at some point, Artemis version X will be declared to be ActiveMQ 6.0 and/or ActiveMQ will be declared dead after 5 versions and Artemis will be declared the successor to ActiveMQ 5.x even if it's not actually called ActiveMQ 6.0), or is Artemis simply a parallel project that might eventually do those things but isn't officially intended to from ActiveMQ's perspective? Also, does "we were thinking about converting the code from Scala into Java" mean "we converted the code from Scala into Java and that became Artemis", or "we were thinking about converting the code from Scala into Java, but Artemis is completely separate from all of that"?
