JBOSS AS 5.0.0.beta3 and JMS - where are we?

[jonin]

How does one configure JMS queue and topic in JBOSS 5.0.0.beta3?

I cannot find any documentation on the subject (as I have no idea which version of JMS Messaging is included in the 5.0.0.beta3, that's not in the release notes neither in the manifest files).

This lack of proper versioning is really getting to me -- I filed a bug on HTTP header parsing that was originally Tomcat problem (http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-4854). There seems to be no way of tracing that bugfix to JBoss releases other than trial and error (which I've been spending too many days insofar).

Do I need to pay money (i.e. for commercial support) to get that sort of seemingly elementary information?

GlassFish, here we come... :-(

From the 5.0.0.Beta3 release notes:
...
JBoss Messaging is a high performance JMS provider in the JBoss Enterprise Middleware Stack (JEMS), included with JBoss 5 as the default messaging provider. It is also the backbone of the JBoss ESB infrastructure. JBoss Messaging is a complete rewrite of JBossMQ, which is the default JMS provider for the JBoss AS 4.x series.
...
messaging, v1.4.0.SP1

Some examples queues can be found in ./deploy/messaging/destinations-service.xml

From the 4.2.1.GA release notes:
...
JBoss Web v2.x is the web container in JBossAS 4.2, an implementation based on Apache Tomcat that includes the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) and Tomcat native technologies to achieve scalability and performance characteristics that match and exceed the Apache Http server. In the absence of the native libraries, JBoss Web falls back to the standard non-native connector mode. The native libraries need to be downloaded and installed separately in JBOSS_HOME/bin/native.
...
Tomcat 6 is now bundled as part of JBoss Web. deploy/jbossweb-tomcat55.sar has been replaced by deploy/jboss-web.deployer.
...

If you follow from the release notes the link to:
https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/tags/JBoss_4_2_1_GA/build/build-thirdparty.xml

You'll see:
