Difference between “camel-activemq” vs “activemq-camel”

We are upgrading our system to newest stable frameworks/libraries. However, i found difficulty in understand between these two camel-activemq vs activemq-camel. Below are details:

1. We are upgrading ActiveMQ to 5.16.2 version. Here AMQ provides "activemq-camel" libraries with its own camel dependencies like:

2. Also, we are planning to migrate a service which runs on camel-2.x to 3.11.3. Here i see camel provides camel-activemq with version 3.11.3. So i’m confused what to choose here. Will there be incompatibility if i choose camel-activmeq-3.11.3 while routing messages to AMQ-5.16.2.

When i opened both jars, i see packages/classes different in both jars.

Maven repo says both are “AciveMQ component for Camel”

Can anyone please clarify difference between these two activemq-camel and camel-activemq

Answer

You should use camel-activemq or even just camel-jms with an ActiveMQConnectionFactory. The activemq-camel module in the ActiveMQ project is going to be removed.
