Following the instructions here:
http://activemq.apache.org/getting-started.html#GettingStarted-StartingActiveMQ
I downloaded the source to 5.4.1. (None of the mirrors were working so
I downloaded from svn:
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/activemq/tags/activemq-5.4.1
I then ran
mvn clean install
tests were occasionally failing, so per instructions, I then ran
mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
This completed successfully:

After cding to the activemq install dir i.e., the directory from which I
launched mvn, I am instructed to invoke
