How to Delete Virtual Consumers Cleanly in AMQ 5.3.0.5?

[gmotts_gary.motts]

Currently we're using AMQ version 5.3.0.5.  My question is what is the preferred way to delete a Virtual Consumer Queue once it is created and no longer needed?  If I manually delete the queue via the AMQ Console, the Virtual Queue will re-appear and consume messages from the Virtual Topic after restarting AMQ.  Setting the parameter deleteAllMessagesOnStartup="true" for the broker is not an option since our implemented solution mus support message persistence.  Are there any command line options for example?

There's a way to define a policy for deleting inactive queues (i.e. those that have been empty for x amount of time). Take a look at http://activemq.apache.org/delete-inactive-destinations.html

Sorry, just realised that's only available from 5.4 onwards.
