Ah - of other stuff. I figured there was something missing.
Interesting question. Could we ask ActiveMQ to do a
ActiveMQ-3.0-pre-alpha-don'tuse.jar (or whatever they wanted to call
it)? yes, that would be a snapshot, but since it better be a
functional snapshot (rather than somewhat random), couldn't that be a
milestone release from ActiveMQ if we asked really, really nicely?
