Apache ActiveMQ 5.8.0 resolves 160 issues, mostly bug fixes and improvements. It has the following new features:
There are some changes in 5.8 that may require some code change
New modules may effect your maven pom dependencies activemq-core
has been replaced with activemq-client
and activemq-broker
. The various message stores have their own activemq-xx-store module. The uber module activemq-all
remains.
Changed JMX Mbean ObjectNames will effect scripts or tools that directly reference Mbean names. All mbeans now share the type=Broker attribute, which gives them containment. In this way, consumers hang off of destinations, which hang off the broker. The different Mbean types are identified by the presence of specific identifiers in their ObjectNames. The mapping from old to new ObjectName is as follows:
Type | Old Name | New Name |
---|---|---|
Broker | Type=Broker | type=Broker |
Destination | Type=Queue|Topic,Destination=<destination identifier> | type=Broker,destinationType=Queue|Topic,destinationName=<destination identifier> |
Connector | Type=Connector | type=Broker,connector=clientConnectors |
NetworkConnector | Type=NetworkConnector | type=Broker,connector=networkConnectors |
Connection | Type=Connection | type=Broker,connector=*,connectionViewType=remoteAddress|clientId |
OSGi integration has changed. The full details are at OSGi Integration. In summary:
The ActiveMQ binary file bin/run.jar
has been renamed to bin/activemq.jar
.

It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded files using the PGP or MD5 signatures. The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. Begin by following these steps:
$ pgpk -a KEYS $ pgpv apache-activemq-<version>-bin.tar.gz.ascor
$ pgp -ka KEYS $ pgp apache-activemq-<version>-bin.tar.gz.ascor
$ gpg --import KEYS $ gpg --verify apache-activemq-<version>-bin.tar.gz.asc
(Where is replaced with the actual version, e.g., 5.1.0, 5.2.0, etc.).
Alternatively, you can verify the MD5 signature on the files. A Unix program called md5
or md5sum
is included in most Linux and Unix distributions. It is also available as part of GNU Textutils. Windows users can utilize any of the following md5 programs:
