It supports the JMS API in addition to its own set of proprietary APIs. It is being actively developed by Coridan LTD which has recently decided to go open source. Currently Coridan is employing a few people working full-time oÂn the project, we would happily accept feature requests, bug reports, code contributions, or any kind of feedback. Check out the project page oÂn sourceforge, and Manta’s homepage too.
