What do you mean by 'vendor neutral'? How are either Qpid or ActiveMQ
'vendors'? They are surely open source projects, collaborations that both
aim to be as inclusive as possible.
Good point, Gordon ;-). Well, I guess my thought is that because each
project will provide a broker implementation of the AMQP spec that
neither is appropriate for a neutral protocol level client that is not
specific to either broker. The Apache Commons HTTP Client could have
been hosted as a subproject to the HTTPD server project, but that
wasn't appropriate so it was made a separate project. The same logic
applies in this case.
I would respectfully disagree. The httpd project started specifically as
a web server (not a browser, not a generic client). The Qpid project was
specifically started as a place for collaborating on multi language AMQP
implementations (including but not restricted to broker code).
Qpid should be open and inclusive, if it is not perceived as such we
want to change that. What is it that makes 'neutrality' an issue,
especially between two Apache projects?
