Question

I need to import javax.jms.* classes. What is the right dependency to include into a Maven project? I\'m trying javax.jms:jms:1.1, but no luck (it\

Answer 1

In ActiveMQ as well as some other projects like Qpid JMS we pull in the JMS spec classes from Apache Geronimo JARs, the 1.1 APIs are available in this dependency:

  
    org.apache.geronimo.specs
    geronimo-jms_1.1_spec
    1.1.1
  

For JMS 2 APIs you'd need to use a different dependency, for instance

  
    org.apache.geronimo.specs
    geronimo-jms_2.0_spec
    1.0-alpha-2
  

These are both Apache 2.0 licensed dependencies.
