Introducing Spring AMQP
Spring AMQP is a project designed to support the use of Spring and Java with the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) 0.9.1, with particular application to RabbitMQ. The project provides a robust framework for building messaging applications with ease and flexibility.
Getting Started
To work with Spring AMQP, one can check out the project from its GitHub repository and build from source using Gradle. Below are the steps to do just that:
-
Clone the repository:
git clone git://github.com/SpringSource/spring-amqp.git cd spring-amqp
