I think that a separate hornetQ project is a clear declaration that activemq has no long term future. My understanding of the situation is quite limited, but since there's already been one attempt to replace the broker (apollo) and no attempt to modernize the existing broker, I'd guess that it is not feasible. After apollo, I haven't seen the existing amq community start a new broker project inside activemq, it's been maybe a couple years, so I expect it won't happen. so, sure hornetQ could be a different project, mine some external code from amq, and wait for amq to die. As I tried to indicate before, the only real way forward I see is for the existing amq community to get behind making the former hornetQ codebase a real amq 5 replacement. What if you put the same amount of energy into adapting some amq code to hornetQ as you do objecting to it's presence? I don't understand why everyone isn't saying, "wow, someone just gave us a many-dev-years of code advanced broker, look at all the work I don't have to do!!, what can I do to help take advantage of it?"
