The QpidJMS project provides a JMS based client that uses the AMQP v1.0 protocol.

Below are some quick pointers you might find useful.

Building the code

The project requires Maven 3. Some example commands follow.


mvn clean install -DskipTests


mvn clean install

Perform a subset tests on the packaged release artifacts without installing:

mvn clean verify -Dtest=TestNamePattern*

Execute the tests and produce code coverage report:

mvn clean test jacoco:report


First build and install all the modules as detailed above (if running against a source checkout/release, rather than against released binaries) and then consult the README in the qpid-jms-examples module itself.


There is some basic documentation in the qpid-jms-docs module.

Distribution assemblies

After building the modules, src and binary distribution assemblies can be found at:
