Rob, isn't this the same as your proposal #1? We already have the answer
on that. Why start another discussion?
Your proposal is actually two proposals.
1. Move the console to a separate subproject.
2. Release it independently.
On the 1st part my understanding is that opinions varied from 0 to +1.
On the 2nd part I think it's clear that some, myself included, want the
console to remain part of the ActiveMQ official distro.
What I understand is that your desire is to remove the console from the
ActiveMQ distro in whatever way possible. Please clarify your proposal.
Cheers,
Hadrian

The recent poll [1] and discussions [2] around what to do with the current
ActiveMQ web console demonstrated there’s a mix bag of views. There are
developers who passionately believe that the current Web Console is a large
technical debt on the project, hasn’t been actively developed for years and is
a security risk - whilst others believe it benefits users immensely to have
such a web console available.
What I would like to propose is that the Web Console is moved to a sub project
of ActiveMQ - where those interested in maintaining and developing it can work
independently of the ActiveMQ broker release. Ideally there would be
collaboration - so that the Web console could be released in the same time
frame as every new minor and major release of the broker. However, having it as
a sub project will also allow for it to be released independently - so that if
folks want to iterate releases of the web console whilst they improve it or to
fix issues as they arise they can. It also has the benefit of freeing up
ActiveMQ developers who want to concentrate on the core broker functionality.
This is a compromise, but I believe its the best way forward. What do you guys
think ?
thanks,
Rob
