Please add:
0. Ensure the existing client unit test suite, sys tests, integration tests
and performance tests, runs against the refactored client code before the
existing client code is 'broken'.
If necessary/possible convert some tests that use the existing Java AMQP API
to run through the JMS API.
0.5. Identify any JIRAs for M2 that it would be sensible to write tests for,
and make sure tests for them exist for M2 and the new client code.
0.9. Ensure that any existing requirements for the current client code are
going to be carried forward to the refactoring. At the moment, I can think
of:
- Ensure retrotranslation to Java 1.4 will work.

Hi Folks,
I think we've gotten to the point that we have rough consensus, and it's
clear how to move forward.
I think there is broad agreement on the following goals:
1. We should have a low level client API that maps directly to the AMQP
protocol across all language implementations.
This will make it easier to keep language bindings consistent and to test
them.
2. Early adopters can work with the low level client API, with the
explicit
understanding that this API is likely to change until the protocol
stabilizes.
3. The JMS implementation should be built on the Java AMQP client, which
will make it easier to keep it consistent with the other language
bindings and to test.
4. The existing Java client code needs to be re-factored.
The current prototype available has reused and rearranged existing code as
much as possible.
5. We should consider how to provide AMQP functionality beyond what JMS
offers.
Several strategies were explored, including extending JMS and designing
the
low level AMQP client so that it can be used together with JMS using
casting.
Based on this, I think we should do the following:
1. Refactor the existing Java client code so that it implements JMS
functionality on top of a low level AMQP API.
2. Identify a list of key bug fixes/JMS extensions in the M2 branch,and
reflect these in the new Java client code.
Unless I hear otherwise, this is the plan I intend to pursue.
