I'd like to propose the following approach for the WebConsole: - AMQ adopts the position that the web console is for internal use only and that exposing it to third parties is not recommended due to possible vulnerabilities (I've personally always held this view and made this

Paul, Sure, if there were actually people around who wanted to maintain the web console and did the work then that would be fine but that just hasn't been the reality. Furthermore, there are certain things that require PMC members to handle so there would still need to be people on the PMC

Please provide details Chris. Otherwise, I reject the assertion that it is "unmaintained". That's not actionable, and therefore is pure criticism that won't lead to constructive results. Art On Thu, Apr 26, 2018 at 11:36 AM, Christopher Shannon < christopher.l.shan...@gmail.com> wrote: >

So, are you saying therefore that if someone were to fix/patch some of the outstanding issues with the web console then you'd be happy with not deprecating it? After all, that would then satisfy the criteria that it's being maintained, or is there something else? Thanks, Paul On Thu, Apr 26,

Art, I think my main concern was stated in my first email and Justin re-iterated everything and is spot on. The webconsole is just simply not maintained anymore which is why I proposed deprecating it. Chris On Thu, Apr 26, 2018 at 2:27 PM, Clebert Suconic wrote: >

Paul, Yes it is mostly a people problem but that doesn't make it any less of a problem. It's still a big problem. Apache is a volunteer organization. You can't make anyone support something they don't want to. The reality is that no one wants to maintain it, there's been several years of

If the definition of 'the problem' is that no committers are willing to maintain the web console then that's an internal leadership problem of the group. Please don't try to 'fix' that by making it a problem for end users by deprecating/removing it. Why not address the problem of lack of interest

The ActiveMQ WebConsole fills a very important role in the solution. So here are the questions coming to mind when reading the request for deprecation: 1. What changed since last opening this question? 2. What problems are being solved by removing it? 3. How will the important functions
