Yep this is not a trivial excercise. But Rafi has done a very good job in having common stack that could be pluggable to the java broker. So perhaps we should evaluate and see how long this might take. Rob is doing some refactoring on the java broker so he may have a much better idea on this. > > > > I think from an end user POV what is important is that when we make the > 0-10 > > release all clients and brokers work with each other. > > 1.

But I am worried that we may end up with a lot of releases that don't have interop between the language components. IMO releases that don't interop doesn't have much value from an AMQP POV. So far we have done 3 releases and none have shown the promise that we have touted to deliver. How long do we have to go before we get our act together.
