Subject: Re: Binding to Java based Websphere MQ libraries

Dave,
Well, you should check out STOMP (http://stomp.codehaus.org) and  
ActiveMQ (http://activemq.org/ particularly the JMS-to-JMS bridge  
http://activemq.org/site/jms-to-jms-bridge.html).  (I haven't, but as  
soon as a client needs MOM, I will be ;-)

If you haven't already looked at it, Groovy (http:// 
groovy.codehaus.org/ recently 1.0) is a big step toward Ruby-esque  
code in an officially JCP'd Java environment (http://www.jcp.org/en/ 
jsr/detail?id=241).  It was a presentation about Groovy in 2005 that  
prompted me to take a closer look at Ruby.

-Rob

P.S. Yes, you probably found these already, but I figured I could  
save the next person a few seconds by posting them.
