Robbie Gemmell commented on QPID-2193:
--------------------------------------

I had thought that too originaly Aidan but in retrospect I think Rob is right. 
We arent making it any different than it already was, and ultimately the 
problem goes away with newer releases which have a new and improved way of 
deleting anyway. Expecting people to go dig out older releases to do something 
they already can (even if it can be dangerous if used without due care) seems a 
bit unhelpful.

> Allow deleting the first message on a queue through the JMX Management 
> Console when connected to older brokers

>    Affects Versions: 0.6

> Java brokers previous to 0.6 do not support deletion of arbitrary messages, 
> only the 'first message on the queue' at any given time. This was not exposed 
> in the updated console due for release with 0.6 (where the broker now does 
> support deletion of arbitrary messages). This decision was made because by 
> its very nature the method cannot guarantee which message would be deleted 
> when it is executed, as any queue activity could alter which message is at 
> the head of the queue. However, users may have come to expect this method to 
> be present, and so it should be exposed for older brokers that lack the 
> ability to exactly specify which messages should be deleted.
