 Welcome to Apache ActiveMQ 
 ===================

-Incubation Disclaimer
-=====================
-Apache ActiveMQ is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Geronimo PMC. 
-
-Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, 
-communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. 
-
-While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does 
-indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
