Chapter 1. Migration Overview

Many of the major components in JBoss Fuse and JBoss A-MQ 6.1 have been upgraded. The following versions are used in JBoss A-MQ:

In JBoss A-MQ 6.1, the implementation of the Fuse Management Console has changed and it is now based on the open source Hawt.io project. The new Fuse Management Console has a radically different look-and-feel from the old version, with greatly expanded functionality and many new features.

When you start up the JBoss A-MQ container (for example, by running the command, bin/amq), the new Fuse Management Console is installed by default. You can access it by navigating to the following URL in your browser:

http://localhost:8181

http://localhost:8181

For more details, see "Management Console User Guide".

The Fuse Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is no longer provided as a standalone Eclipse executable. Fuse IDE has been renamed to Fuse Plugins for JBoss Developer Studio. To install Fuse Plugins, first download and install JBoss Developer Studio and then install the relevant Eclipse plug-ins. For detailed instructions, see "Installation Guide".

The ActiveMQ resource adapter has been certified to function correctly on the JBoss Enterprise Web Services container, the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform container, and on JBoss Fuse Service Works, enabling you integrate JMS applications running on those containers with JBoss A-MQ.

The Apache Camel core library has been certified to function correctly on the JBoss Enterprise Web Services container and on the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform container.

The changes resulting from the upgrade to version 5.9.0 are detailed in Chapter 2, Apache ActiveMQ Issues.

The most important changes are:

The Karaf Web console is no longer supported in JBoss A-MQ 6.1. You can use the new Hawtio-based Fuse Management Console instead, which has the same functionality (and more) as the Karaf Web console.
