Answer 1

You can use maven to determine this with the mvn dependency:tree command or use other maven centric tools to explore the artifacts dependencies.

At a minimum you would need these for v5.13.3

slf4j-api.jar geronimo-jms_1.1_spec.jar hawtbuf.jar

Then you can add an slf4j binding like log4j or logback to get proper logs. There are some others that you might want depending on where / how you are using it like the geronimo-j2ee-management_1.1_spec jar.

Of course if you use maven to build you can make this simpler since it will manage the deps for you.

I found same problem with my java application. I needed to insert Spring Boot for rest web service (Jetty Server) and now ActiveMQ for others data exchange. With

activemq-client-5.15.11.jar; geronimo-jms_1.1_spec-1.1.1.jar; geronimo-j2ee-management_1.1_spec-1.0.1.jar; hawtbuf-1.11.jar;

all works.
