I think that's true for quite a few C++ subprojects across ASF, which is quite unabashedly Java-focused. C++ users have been in effect incentivized to strike out on their own, as contributing to C++ emulations of Java code is quite unappealing in general. | Given the lack of resources and interest in maintaining activemq-cpp | combined with the effort it would take to not just make it work but | work well, why wouldn't we simply point folks to alternatives like | STOMP and AMQP. There is in fact very little effort needed to maintain well-tested code here. The C++ client works well. Its problem is the use of obsolete code that modern compilers barf on. Fixing that is a big deal only because the gatekeepers are simply not interested and just as dismissive of outside contributions. | I would be happy to see folks step forward and embrace responsibility | for this code-base.
