HornetQ requires several jars on the Client Classpath depending on whether the client uses HornetQ Core API, JMS, and JNDI.
All the jars mentioned here can be found in the lib directory of
the HornetQ distribution. Be sure you only use the jars from the correct version of the
release, you must not mix and match versions of jars from different
HornetQ versions. Mixing and matching different jar versions may cause subtle errors and
failures to occur.
If you are using just a pure HornetQ Core client (i.e. no JMS) then you need hornetq-core-client.jar and
netty.jar on your client classpath.
If the client runs inside a Java 5 virtual machine, use instead hornetq-core-client-java5.jar.
If you are using JMS on the client side, then you will also need to include hornetq-jms-client.jar and jboss-jms-api.jar.
If the client runs inside a Java 5 virtual machine, include instead hornetq-jms-client-java5.jar.
jboss-jms-api.jar just contains Java EE API interface classes
needed for the javax.jms.* classes. If you already have a jar
with these interface classes on your classpath, you will not need it.
