Sure AMQPLAIN is not an official SASL mechanism but it is a mechanism for authentication. The Java broker/client simply implements it as a SASL plugin to unify authentication.IIRC AMQP 0-8 and 0-9 both specify hence if our clients can run 0-8/0-9 we should maintain that functionality.
I don't think either 0-8 or 0-9 specifies AMQPLAIN.
