I am trying to create a sample JMS application using Eclipse IDE.
I have managed to create a Producer.java and a Consumer.java class to send the messages from the Producer to the Consumer. The Consumer receives the message and prints out the message.
What should I do next to actually send and recieve the messages. I know it has got something to do with creating a JMS Provider, but it would be really helpful if someone could guide me on how to go about it?
For this you need JMS Provider implementation, i can recommend HornetQ as fast, popular and well-documented.
