ARTEMIS-4383 migrate user docs to AsciiDoc Markdown, which is currently used for user-facing documentation, is good for a lot of things. However, it's not great for the kind of complex documentation we have and our need to produce both multi-page HTML and single-page PDF output via Maven. Markdown lacks features which would make the documentation easier to read, easier to navigate, and just look better overall. The current tool-chain uses honkit and a tool called Calibre. Honkit is written in TypeScript and is installed via NPM. Calibre is a native tool so it must be installed via an OS-specific package manager. All this complexity makes building, releasing, uploading, etc. a pain. AsciiDoc is relatively simple like Markdown, but it has more features for presentation and navigation not to mention Java-based Maven tooling to generate both HTML and PDF. Migrating will improve both the appearance of the documentation as well as the processes to generate and upload it. This commit contains the following changes: - Convert all the Markdown for the User Manual, Migration Guide, and Hacking guide to AsciiDoc via kramdown [1]. - Update the `artemis-website` build to use AsciiDoctor Maven tooling. - Update `RELEASING.md` with simplified instructions. - Update Hacking Guide with simplified instructions. - Use AsciiDoc link syntax in Artemis Maven doc plugin. - Drop EPUB & MOBI docs for User Manual as well as PDF for the Hacking Guide. All docs will be HTML only except for the User Manual which will have PDF. - Move all docs up out of their respective "en" directory. This was a hold-over from when we had docs in different languages. - Migration & Hacking Guides are now single-page HTML since they are relatively short. - Refactor README.md to simplify and remove redundant content. Benefits of the change: - Much simplified tooling. No more NPM packages or native tools. - Auto-generated table of contents for every chapter. - Auto-generated anchor links for every sub-section. - Overall more appealing presentation. - All docs will use the ActiveMQ favicon. - No more manual line-wrapping! AsciiDoc recommends one sentence per line and paragraphs are separated by a blank line. - AsciiDoctor plugins for IDEA are quite good. - Resulting HTML is less than *half* of the previous size. All previous links/bookmarks should continue to work. [1] https://github.com/asciidoctor/kramdown-asciidoc

= Destinations
We already talked about addressing differences between ActiveMQ and Artemis in the xref:README.adoc[introduction].
Now let's dig into the details and see how to configure JMS queues and topics.
It's important to note here that both brokers are configured by default to _auto-create_ destinations requested by clients, which is preferred behavior for many use cases.
This is configured using authorization security policies, so we will cover this topic in the later sections of this manual.
For now, let's see how you can predefine JMS queues and topics in both brokers.
In ActiveMQ, destinations are pre-defined in the `<destinations>` section of the `conf/activemq.xml` configuration file.
[,xml]
----
<destinations>
<queue physicalName="my-queue" />
<topic physicalName="my-topic" />
</destinations>
----
Things looks a bit different in Artemis.
We already explained that queues are `anycast` addresses and topics are `multicast` ones.
We're not gonna go deep into the address settings details here and you're advised to look at the user manual for that.
Let's just see what we need to do in order to replicate ActiveMQ configuration.
Addresses are defined in `<addresses>` section of the `etc/broker.xml` configuration file.
So the corresponding Artemis configuration for the ActiveMQ example above, looks like this:
[,xml]
----
<addresses>
<address name="my-queue">
<anycast>
<queue name="my-queue"/>
</anycast>
</address>
<address name="my-topic">
<multicast></multicast>
</address>
</adresses>
----
After this step we have our destinations ready in the new broker.
