How to configure the ActiveMQ 5.10.0 HawtIO interface?

Question

I'm using ActiveMQ 5.9.0 that has a amazing HawtIO interface. So when 5.10.0 has come, I migrated my system too. Now I see that the HawtIO interface doesn't exist inside it... It just disappeared from webapps folder from 5.9.0 to 5.10.0, so I tried the tutorial ActiveMQ and HawtIO but it doesn't work... How to configure the interface?

Alternatively, you can use HawtIO as a standalone web-app, that connects to ActiveMQ through Jolokia (pre 5.9 way of doing it).

1. Download the HawtIO standalone jar here: http://hawt.io/getstarted/index.html
2. Run the jar on the ActiveMQ-server: java -jar hawtio-app-1.4.37.jar (put the command in a .bat-script and add a scheduled task if you want it to run on startup..)
3. Navigate to http://your server:8080/hawtio
4. Create a new connection, give it a name, use localhost as host, 8161 as port and api/jolokia as path.

Connect, and enjoy!
