Apache ActiveMQ 5.3.0 has an official SPECjms2007® result, thanks to some great work by Kai Sachs from the Databases and Distributed Systems Group at the Technical University Darmstadt in Germany. Complete details can be found in the official results submission that is linked from the announcement.
Needless to say, 5.3.0 does nicely in both horizontal (number of destinations) and vertical (load per destination) scalability.
It is fitting to see Apache ActiveMQ being used in the world's first SPECjms2007 submission.

ActiveMQ has been added to Hudson continuous-integration server instance at Apache http://hudson.zones.apache.org/hudson/job/ActiveMQ/. Now you can have more insight into test runs and snapshot builds. Hudson will also send failure reports to our dev mailing list, making us address them promptly.
As a part of this change, the snapshots location and Maven repository has changed. If you're using ActiveMQ snapshots in your projects, be sure to add the following repository to your Maven configuration:

<repositories>
  <repository>
    <id>hudson.snapshots</id>
    <url>https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
    <releases>
      <enabled>false</enabled>
    </releases>

ActiveMQ in Action is a thorough, practical guide to implementing message-oriented systems in Java using ActiveMQ. The book lays out the core of ActiveMQ in clear language, starting with the anatomy of a JMS message and moving quickly through connectors, message persistence, authentication and authorization. With the basics well in hand, you move into interesting examples of ActiveMQ at work, following a running Stock Portfolio application. You'll integrate ActiveMQ with containers like Geronimo and JBoss and learn to tie into popular Java-based technologies like Spring Framework.

Along the way, you'll pick up best practices forged out of the deep experience the authors bring to the book. You'll learn to integrate with non-Java technologies and explore advanced topics like broker topologies and configuration and performance tuning.

Additionally, the book will introduce readers to using Apache Camel with Apache ActiveMQ as a way to easily utilize the Enterprise Integration Patterns.

This book is perfect for:

  • High-level designers of loosely-coupled distributed systems that follow a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
  • Software developers creating applications that use the ActiveMQ message broker
  • System administrators that must maintain a software system based on the ActiveMQ message broker
