title: JMS client tool - any alternative to HermesJMS for Java 8?
body: <p><br/>
    What alternatives to HermesJMS are available? I need to test against JBoss WildFly 8 and it uses Java 8. HermesJms seems to be built for Java 6 and I could not find a full Java 8 port for it. I tried setting hermes.bat with <a href="http://www.hermesjms.com/confluence/display/HJMS/Installing#Installing-AllOtherPlatforms" rel="noreferrer">this configuration option</a> but I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>org.xml.sax.SAXNotRecognizedException: Feature 'http://javax.xml.XMLConstants/feature/secure-processing' is not recognized.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This seems to be due to Xerces JAR version but I am worried if all other libs under %HERMES_HOME%\lib\ext will have similar Java 8 compatibility issues. Best way is to use a Java 8 compatible build of HermesJMS rather than try fixing JARs one by one but that seems not possible given that there is no such branch.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,<br/>
