ActiveMQ-CPP is only a client so in one sense yes you are forced to bring java into the mix. However this is only from the standpoint that all your C++ clients need a message broker and the broker happens to be written in Java. The clients themselves are pure C++ client using ActiveMQ-CPP as their conduit to message each other; the broker manages all the plumbing behind the scenes to pass the messages back and forth and persist them if needed etc. So somewhere on your network you need to run a broker. So then the question is does it really matter what language the broker is written in or does it only matter that all your C++ clients can talk.
So the short answer is yes you need java installed somewhere, but only on the machine that runs the broker, everywhere else your clients could all be C++ applications. Does that help?
