Hi, I can give you a brief overview, and I'm sure that others (particularly the C++-ers) will add to this reply.
Fundamentally, it's all about choice. Our project seeks to provide a range of client & broker implementations of the AMQP specification (and JMS for the Java elements) from which our users can select the combination best suited to their needs. This project has evolved from the original contribution of the Java broker & client to Apache, built as a production quality implementation of the AMQP specification and JMS compatible. From there, the other implementations have grown to provide a variety of clients, for use with existing application architectures which mandate different languages. The C++ broker brings with it tuning options for different platforms, and this is definitely something that others on this list can expand upon. Work is proceeding on a number of ports of the C++ broker for different platforms. The Java broker is platform independent. I'll pull together some additional information on the features provided/supported by the Java Broker (as of M4) as I don't think we have anything which reflects the current feature set, and post the link here shortly. Please do let us know if there's anything you're specifically interested in.
