With which maven dependencies can i create a standalone JMS client for Glassfish?

Question

i want to create a very simple JMS standalone client to a JMS Topic hosted on my Glassfish server.

My project is built using maven.

I know there seems to be

OK, this one was rather tricky.

After some searches and tries, I removed weld dependencies (in order to go back to a more classical main).

Then, I replaced my (old-style) appserv-rt.jar dependency with

    
        org.glassfish.appclient
        gf-client
        3.1
        pom
        compile
    

This is not a little change, as gf-client pulls all jars for Glassfish, which obviously makes a lot of jars (hopefully there is a method to optimize jar number, although we all know about premature optimization).

So, once it's done, it's perfectly possible to use EJB remote interface, but not JMS (due to incomprehensible reasons). In order to make JMS work with gf-client, one then have to go create maven dependencies for imqjmsra.jar and imqbroker.jar, both located in %GLASSFISH3_INSTALL_DIR%/glassfish/lib/install/applications/jmsra. Furthermore, as imqjmsra.jar internally uses imqbroker.jar, I recommend you to create the following poms :

  4.0.0
  org.glassfish.external.jms
  imqjmsra
  3.1.0
  POM was created by Sonatype Nexus
  
    
          org.glassfish.external.jms
          imqbroker
          3.1.0
    
  

associated to imqjmsra.jar and

  4.0.0
  org.glassfish.external.jms
  imqbroker
  3.1.0
  POM was created by Sonatype Nexus

associated to imqbroker.jar.

Obviously, as I use Nexus repository management, it was easier for me to create these dependencies in our company 3rd parties local repository using Nexus "upload artifact page".

Once it's done, My POM dependencies now are

    
        org.glassfish.appclient
        gf-client
        3.1
        pom
        compile
    
    
        org.glassfish.external.jms
        imqjmsra
        3.1.0
    

And I can totally poll my JMS queue.
