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's pom, not jar).
ps. The only workaround I've found so far is: javax:javaee-api:6.0 (from Maven Central).
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:
<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId> <artifactId>geronimo-jms_1.1_spec</artifactId> <version>1.1.1</version> </dependency> For JMS 2 APIs you'd need to use a different dependency, for instance
<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId> <artifactId>geronimo-jms_2.0_spec</artifactId> <version>1.0-alpha-2</version> </dependency> These are both Apache 2.0 licensed dependencies.
Now that things have moved on to the Jakarta API versions of the JMS Specifications the options for JMS API jars have shifted.
The basic Jakarta JMS 2.0 API that is API compatible with legacy JMS 2.0 APIs can be found here.
<dependency> <groupId>jakarta.jms</groupId> <artifactId>jakarta.jms-api</artifactId> <version>2.0.3</version> </dependency> New Jakarta Messaging APIs in the 3.x series can be pulled in from here, ActiveMQ 6.0+ brokers have migrated to Jakarta:
<dependency> <groupId>jakarta.jms</groupId> <artifactId>jakarta.jms-api</artifactId> <version>3.1.0</version> </dependency> Another option which is not Apache licensed is here as others have pointed out.
<dependency> <groupId>javax.jms</groupId> <artifactId>javax.jms-api</artifactId> <version>2.0.1</version> </dependency> The Sun license doesn't allow maven repositories to host this (and other) artifacts.
Here is the documentation explaining this and what you should do instead...
Maven - Guide to coping with Sun JARs
What it says is you need to download the JAR manually and then install it into your own local repository or nexus server.
The pom.xml files hosted at maven central for these artifacts contain information on where you can download the JARs from.
<dependency> <groupId>javax</groupId> <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId> <version>6.0</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> 
I have successfully used this one:
<dependency> <groupId>javax.jms</groupId> <artifactId>jms</artifactId> <version>1.1</version> </dependency> 
Go to Maven Search site and search for javax. Open the latest version for groupId javax and artifactId javaee-api
The current version is 7.0 [Maven dependency information]
If you just want the JMS libs, without the rest of javaee, use the following:
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.jms/javax.jms-api/2.0.1
<dependency> <groupId>javax.jms</groupId> <artifactId>javax.jms-api</artifactId> <version>2.0.1</version> </dependency> According to mvnrepository, the dependency to add in the pom of your project is the following:
<dependency> <groupId>jms</groupId> <artifactId>jms</artifactId> <version>1.1</version> </dependency> Check out the dependencies listed on grepcode.com.
I only discovered this site recently, and it rocks!
http://grepcode.com/search/?query=javax.jms.*
It looks like the Geronimo jars on maven central should sort your issues out.
This worked for myself
<dependency> <groupId>javax.jms</groupId> <artifactId>javax.jms-api</artifactId> <version>2.0.1</version> </dependency>
