The AMQP reality is that only new message brokers will implement it -
simply because you'd have to re-write the message broker to
accommodate it. Which is why you won't see any of the traditional
messaging platforms like Webshpere MQ, SonicMQ or Tibco EMS, RV
implementing any time soon. We would love to offer full support for it
in ActiveMQ - but that's going to take lot of investment and a lot
of work.
Its a shame the AMQP spec writers didn't concentrate on making AMQP
simple to use and implement for existing messaging platforms in the
same way STOMP did - which is why both OpenMQ and RabbitMQ support
STOMP - and SonicMQ will probably being doing the same in the future
too.
The AMQP protocol is open argument kinda disappears up its own
backside once folks realize the cost of entry - that a vendor has to
start from scratch to implement it - so in reality AMQP == RedHat
currently for enterprises. Ironic - when the whole point of AMQP was
to try break vendor lock-in!

I'll also express strong interest in AMQP and I'll take the liberty
of saying
that most people using stomp for cross platform integration with
ActiveMQ
should be expressing interest. With the influx of enterprise apps
being
written in dynamic languages, AMQP offers high end messaging
features in a
platform agnostic way.
I would also caution against assuming that the people who want AMQP
for
messaging are likely to seek you out to express that interest. If
I'm a ruby
on rails or a django shop and I figure out I need a messaging
solution for
cross platform integration, I'll soon have an interest in AMQP.
When I look
for implementations I'll find RabbitMQ or Redhat Messaging, or AMQP in
Fedora 10 and never think about ActiveMQ.
In fact, if you don't support AMQP that will be a talking point
against
deploying ActiveMQ in an IT environment where ruby or python apps
exist.
I've already had that happen at my company and I've played down AMQP
as
still in development, not quite fully baked, but now with Fedora 10
touting
AMQP as a major new feature, that argument's lifespan is ending and
people
are becoming more aware of it.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering about the current status of AMQP implementation into
acticeMQ. On the project page it states, that there is a sandbox
version
and
that developement has been paused.
As we are interested in using activeMQ together with AMQP we were
wondering
if this status has changed and/or are interested in the up-to-date
outlook.
The status hasn't changed since that wiki page was written. Welcome -
you're the first person ever to express any interest in AMQP with
ActiveMQ :)
