I looked into this and I was able to create a JMS consumer with a valid
selector to get messages with a specific property value sent from an MQTT 5
client. In my test the MQTT 5 client sent a message with a property named
"foo" with a value of "bar" and I created my JMS consumer this way:

  MessageConsumer mc = s.createConsumer(myDestination,
"\"mqtt.ordered.user.property.0.foo\" = 'bar'");

Notice the quotation marks around the property name. Have you tried this
solution in your 30 different attempts?

That said, there is a problem with the naming convention used for the
properties. The naming convention was designed to allow the broker to track
the *order* of the properties on the MQTT message because maintaining order
is required by the spec. However, I just realized that the part of the
property name which tracks the order is going to cause difficulties for any
non-MQTT client that wants to use a selector/filter to consume them. In
short, if the order of the properties changes in the MQTT message then the
selector/filter will also have to change. I don't think this is tenable and
I plan on implementing a new solution where the original name of the
property is preserved and order is maintained in some other way.
