Does the proton protocol engine have support for authentication or

The protocol defines how to do authentication using SASL. The protocol
engine does expose this in a little more detail and has some basic
support for PLAIN. (It doesn't yet allow a SASL based encryption or
signing layer though).
However, I think the plan is to have the proton-j messenger support
PLAIN at least as well, it just hasn't been done yet. The c based
messenger does support plain as well as anonymous. Of course PLAIN on
its own is not great, so you would probably want to use SSL there as
well (or indeed perhaps instead of). Raise a JIRA at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON.
As a side question, I'm trying to figure out what java client lib I
should use with the qpid java broker if I don't want to use JMS.
Just to satisfy my curiosity, can I ask why you are keen to avoid JMS?
I was hoping to use proton Messenger.
Do you have a list of requirements you're going to need, or features you
plan to make use of on the broker side?
Would the classes in
org.apache.qpid.amqp_1_0.client be more suitable for working with the
java broker? Any other options?
I'm honestly not sure what the plans are for the API of
org.apache.qpid.amqp_1_0.client, Rob can you shed any light on that?
