Hermes has a couple of issues accessing recent ActiveMQ releases. "SLF4J mismatch" and "ActiveMQ, starting from version 5.8 has changed the names of some MBEANs used by Hermes plugin."
As HermesJMS tool is bundled with the SoapUI installer, the simplest way to get this tool is to select it for installation when you install SoapUI. 1) Install SOAPUI - download is available at http://www.soapui.org/getting-started/installing-soapui/installing-on-windows.html - When prompted include HermesJMS as part of your install 2) As the ActiveMQ 5.11.1 client includes a later SLF4J replace the old version that comes with HermesJMS by performing the following:- Add the following two files from SLF4J http://www.slf4j.org/dist/ to the C:\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.2.0\hermesJMS\lib directory slf4j-api-1.7.10.jar slf4j-jdk14-1.7.10.jar 3) Edit the hermes.bat file to replace the old SLF4J reference with a reference to the 2 new files The batch file is located in C:\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.2.0\hermesJMS\bin directory - action as follows Within hermes.bat file find the following string: %HERMES_LIBS%\slf4j-jdk14-1.0.1.jar; and replace this with: %HERMES_LIBS%\slf4j-api-1.7.10.jar;%HERMES_LIBS%\slf4j-jdk14-1.7.10.jar; 4) As the version of ActiveMQ is now greater than 5.8 - i.e. the current version is now 5.11.1 - the hermes-activemq.jar needs to be replaced with a newer version to enable HermesJMS to work propoerly. Within the C:\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.2.0\hermesJMS\lib directory replace the hermes-activemq.jar with the one from https://github.com/paoloantinori/HermesJMS.
