Maven is really going to save you tons of headaches, especially keeping up with jar files and versions... but, it's not absolutely necessary.
Without maven, I would probably consider seriously to use the activemq-all jar, but that comes with caveats (such as possible conflicts in versions of other jars you might also be using). Once you have a basic maven project setup, use "mvn dependency:list" or "mvn dependency:tree" to see all of the jar files used. Even better, use "mvn dependency:copy-dependencies" to get all of them copied into the directory, target/dependency. -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/What-all-jars-are-required-to-run-ActiveMQ-client-and-what-all-jars-are-included-in-ActiveMq-all-jar-tp4689651p4689734.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
