Perhaps reword this slightly.
The Apache ActiveMQ Artemis project was started in October 2014. The
Artemis code base was seeded with a code donation, granted by Red Hat, of the
HornetQ project. The code donation process consisted of taking a snapshot of
the latest HornetQ code base and contributing this snapshot as an initial git
commit into the Artemis git repository.
The HornetQ commit history is preserved, and can be accessed here: <>
Credit should be given to those developers who contributed to the HornetQ
project. The top 10 committers are highlighted here: <>
For more information please visit the [HornetQ GitHub project].
