I think a C-library and a C++ wrapper would have a lot of value, and open the
ability to have some nice CLI tools for linux admins, container images, etc.
Something like ‘amq send | recv | browse | MY.QUEUE”
I agree, I think staying with standard libraries with fewest 3rd party
dependencies is the way to go and provide the most utility.
The activemq-openwire-generator project might be a good place to look too. We
could generate C structs out of there to get the protocol models generated and
packaged for consumption by a C library and C++ wrapper library.

I have been doing similar things, but I would pass custom deleters to
unique_ptrs.
Not ideal maybe, but worked good enough in my case.
I can agree that authors copied Java style a bit overzealously, but we have
what we have.
C API would be good, too, and IMHO it should not be that hard to provide it
with the current codebase, though it might simply require a lot of typing.
Besides, regardless of its final shape I guess the project would benefit from
simplifying it, e.g. by replacing platfrom-specific threads with std::thread.
If the "javaisms" are to be reworked into modern C++ is a matter of taste, but
if it's possible to be done step by step I guess it should be considered, especially now
when the C++'s standard library has become way richer.
@Mike thanks for information on how to contribute, hopefully it will become
handy soon :)

I think one's time would be better spent using and / or contributing to
an AMQP v1.0 client library (which is an ISO standard protocol) vs
inventing another Openwire client at this point. AMQP offers a well
defined specification that provides a much more robust credit model and
message encoding flexibility etc that Openwire simply doesn't have. Plus
it would work with any AMQP v1.0 compliant broker or message service
unlike an Openwire client.
Apache Qpid already has such clients
http://qpid.apache.org/proton/index.html and that is where I'd spend my
time if I was to ever think of working in the C or C++ client space again.
