I was finally able to get my little test system to work - the config files that are on the web site don't match and therefore don't work together as they stand. Without any explanation about what needs to match with what I ended up stumbling around in the dark for a while (hours :/ ), so to speak...
re: log4j - great
re: lots of examples - yes, but I want the one described on the main web site to work
re: full links - yes, good start (see below)
re: wiki - yes, I have updated it
Just as a note, a user posted on the wiki in September that an example for sending and receiving is needed, but doesn't look like anything has been made up yet. I second that request (more below).

In my opinion, its crucial that one good example of a spring project that has sending and receiving be present and fully described. Linking to files in cvs is not a good substitute, unless those files have been specifically made to describe how the system is supposed to work. So, yes, link to the existing ones for now, but a new example that 'just works' and is made to facilitate new user setup is needed. This involves BOTH sending and receiving.
As well, a simple diagram of how the pieces fit together would IMHO help. I can help with this to put the picture together if someone describes it in text.
Thanks again for your help, I can't wait to really get started now.

I'm having some technical difficulties that I could use your help with. One thing that I noticed is that 1.1.1 doesn't appear to be packaged properly - its included a log4j.properties file that overrides your own (depending on the classloader I guess). That needs to be fixed asap as it creates problems with debugging.We'll double check our build process - looks like a gremlin.My biggest issue with Jencks right now is that there isn't a good spring working example to start from.There's lots of spring examples in the unit test area?I would love to provide one, but have been trying for hours to get Jencks and ActiveMQ to work with no luck. The examples online are very sparse and they don't include everything that is needed - the examples make reference to hard coded values that don't appear to relate to anything else (ie. the queue names). It would be much easier if there was a simple little project that uses a MessageListener bean to show off how everything works. Some stuff is commented out, not sure why, url's don't match up etc.We've tried to highlight sections of the full spring.xml on the online documentation. We should probably also include the full links to the entire examples as well?
BTW the entire online documentation is a wiki; so by all means change it to be more clear (there's an [edit] button bottom right of each screen, or you can just go into the wiki to change it...)

e.g. here's the main navigation bar

I've updated the Message Driven POJOs page to include a link to the full XML
