Hi Robert, The incubator-activemq-4.0.jar is an uber jar that is built by aggregating the activemq broker, client and a few dependency jars like derby. I think derby is where IBM reference comes from and also explains the multiple copies of the same file thing (different jars were using different naming conventions). This uber jar is helpful for folks who want to get started with a small footprint client and and server with minimum fuss about finding out what dependencies need to be included in the application classpath.

DISCLAIMER.txt - incubation warning text (good :-) LICENSE - Apache License 2.0 LICENSE.txt - also Apache License 2.0 why two copies? MANIFEST.MF - jar MANIFEST NOTICE - NOTICE file pertainning to Apache Darby NOTICE.txt - another NOTICE file. why are two required? seems a little borderline to me. i'd like to hear other opinions or clarifications before definitively casting a vote. plus a few suggestions for future releases: * the MANIFEST lacks a Implementation-Vendor-Id. not reported harmful but is in the spec. suggested value: org.apache. * the MANIFEST lacks a Specification-Version but has an Implementation-Version. suggested value 4.0. * better if the source extracts into a directory with a different name from the binary distribution. for example, incubator-activemq-src for the source and incubator-activemq for the binary (say. * i would prefer the binaries and distributions names to contain apache. for example apache-incubator-activemq. - robert
