This repository contains source code of the https://www.rabbitmq.com/api-guide.html[RabbitMQ Java client]. The client is maintained by the https://github.com/rabbitmq/[RabbitMQ team at Broadcom].

== Dependency (Maven Artifact)

This client releases are independent of RabbitMQ server releases and can be used with RabbitMQ server 3.x. They require Java 8 or higher.

=== Stable

==== Maven

.pom.xml [source,xml,subs="attributes,specialcharacters"]

==== Gradle

.build.gradle [source,groovy,subs="attributes,specialcharacters"]

compile 'com.rabbitmq:amqp-client:{client-stable}'

//// === Milestones and Release Candidates

==== Maven

.pom.xml [source,xml,subs="attributes,specialcharacters"]

Milestones and release candidates are available on the RabbitMQ Milestone Repository:

.pom.xml [source,xml,subs="attributes,specialcharacters"]

==== Gradle

.build.gradle [source,groovy,subs="attributes,specialcharacters"]

compile 'com.rabbitmq:amqp-client:{client-rc}'

Milestones and release candidates are available on the RabbitMQ Milestone Repository:

.build.gradle [source,groovy,subs="attributes,specialcharacters"]

repositories { maven { url "https://packagecloud.io/rabbitmq/maven-milestones/maven2" } }

////

=== Snapshots

==== Maven

.pom.xml [source,xml,subs="attributes,specialcharacters"]

Snapshots are available on the Sonatype OSS snapshot repository:

.pom.xml [source,xml,subs="attributes,specialcharacters"]

==== Gradle

.build.gradle [source,groovy,subs="attributes,specialcharacters"]

compile 'com.rabbitmq:amqp-client:{client-snapshot}'

Snapshots are available on the Sonatype OSS snapshot repository:

.build.gradle [source,groovy,subs="attributes,specialcharacters"]

repositories { maven { url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots' } mavenCentral() }

=== 4.x Series

As of 1 January 2021 the 4.x branch is no longer supported.

== Experimenting with JShell

You can experiment with the client from JShell. This requires Java 9 or more.

[source,shell]

git clone https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-java-client.git cd rabbitmq-java-client ./mvnw test-compile jshell:run ... import com.rabbitmq.client.* ConnectionFactory cf = new ConnectionFactory() Connection c = cf.newConnection() ... c.close() /exit

== Building from Source

=== Getting the Project and its Dependencies

[source,shell]

git clone git@github.com:rabbitmq/rabbitmq-java-client.git cd rabbitmq-java-client make deps

=== Building the JAR File

[source,shell]

./mvnw clean package -Dmaven.test.skip

=== Launching Tests with the Broker Running in a Docker Container

Run the broker:

[source,shell]

docker run -it --rm --name rabbitmq -p 5672:5672 rabbitmq

Launch "essential" tests (takes about 10 minutes):

[source,shell]

./mvnw verify \ -Drabbitmqctl.bin=DOCKER:rabbitmq \ -Dit.test=ClientTestSuite,FunctionalTestSuite,ServerTestSuite

Launch a single test:

[source,shell]

./mvnw verify \ -Drabbitmqctl.bin=DOCKER:rabbitmq \ -Dit.test=DeadLetterExchange

=== Launching Tests with a Local Broker

The tests can run against a local broker as well. The rabbitmqctl.bin system property must point to the rabbitmqctl program:

[source,shell]

./mvnw verify \ -Dtest-broker.A.nodename=rabbit@$(hostname) \ -Drabbitmqctl.bin=/path/to/rabbitmqctl \ -Dit.test=ClientTestSuite,FunctionalTestSuite,ServerTestSuite

To launch a single test:

[source,shell]

./mvnw verify \ -Dtest-broker.A.nodename=rabbit@$(hostname) \ -Drabbitmqctl.bin=/path/to/rabbitmqctl \ -Dit.test=DeadLetterExchange
