what Jar's are needed for and ActiveMQ client, application

Question

I have activemq-client-5.13.3.jar on my class path, but i keep getting

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/jms/JMSException

If i use activemq-all-5.13.3.jar on my class path, every thing works.

however I am not allowed to use the activemq-all jar.

added jms-api-1.1-rev-1.jar

and now Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/management/j2ee/statistics/Stats

Answer 1

You can use maven to determine this with the mvn dependency:tree command or use other maven centric tools to explore the artifacts dependencies.

At a minimum you would need these for v5.13.3

slf4j-api.jar geronimo-jms_1.1_spec.jar hawtbuf.jar

Then you can add an slf4j binding like log4j or logback to get proper logs. There are some others that you might want depending on where / how you are using it like the geronimo-j2ee-management_1.1_spec jar.

Of course if you use maven to build you can make this simpler since it will manage the deps for you.
