The Apollo Project

Synopsis

ActiveMQ Apollo is a faster, more reliable, easier to maintain messaging broker built from the foundations of the original [ActiveMQ]((http://activemq.apache.org). It accomplishes this using a radically different threading and message dispatching architecture.

In it’s current incarnation, Apollo only supports the STOMP protocol but just like the original ActiveMQ, it’s been designed to be a multi protocol broker. In future versions it should get OpenWire support so it can be compatible with ActiveMQ 5.x JMS clients.
