Messaging that just works
RabbitMQ Java AMQP client library
The RabbitMQ Java client library allows Java code to interface to AMQP servers. The library is platform neutral; the binary distributions listed below differ only in the version of Java they are intended for use with.
The current release implements AMQP protocol version 0-8. Please see the specification page for more information on interoperation and standards-conformance.
The library is open-source, and is dual-licensed under the Mozilla Public License v1.1 and the GNU General Public License, v2.
You will need an AMQP server, such as our very own RabbitMQ server, to use with the client library.
Version
The current release of the RabbitMQ Java AMQP library is 1.7.1.
