Apache ActiveMQ and the coming features around cloud and management
summary
ActiveMQ6 ships as the current runtime with JMS2 / Jakarta migration underway (ActiveMQ 5.19 legacy supported, 6.x targets JDK17 now and JDK25 in a later release), adds virtual thread support for throughput gains, and provides Docker/Helm charts plus upgraded clients; work plans include a native REST API, OpenTelemetry spans for observability, moving the web console out of-broker, and a cloud-friendly replicated KDB using Raft (BookKeeper trial underperformed). Releases 6.2–6.7 stage these features with ongoing implementation and tests.
