The old/original console is no longer fit for purpose, it is hard to =
maintain, the source of a lot of security issues [1] over the last few =
years.

There is another thread about using hawtio as the console going forward, =
and without going into all the gory details it is probably likely that =
there may be no web console shipped at all in future releases of =
ActiveMQ. The JMX naming hierarchy was improved for ActiveMQ 5.8, such =
that its easy to view the running status of an ActiveMQ broker from 3rd =
party tools such as jconsole, visualvm or hawtio. Regardless of the =
outcome of the other discussion [2] - It doesn=92t help the ActiveMQ =
project to try and maintain a static web console any more.

I propose we remove the old web console from the ActiveMQ 5.10 release - =
thoughts ?
