Bug#644834: activemq: Missing jar causes ClassDefNotFoundError

[Lucian Holland]

Package: activemq
Version: 5.5.0+dfsg-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I've just installed activemq on wheezy by doing 'apt-get install activemq'. It installed                                                 
openjdk along with a raft of java libraries into /usr/share/java. Unfortunately, once
I configured an activemq instance with anything more than the most bare-bones of settings
(I added authentication and authorization sections to my activemq.xml) it failed with a 
ClassDefNotFoundError for org.objectweb.asm.commons.EmptyVisitor. This class is provided 
in asm3-all.jar which was installed into /usr/share/java as part of the extended dependencies
of libactivemq-java.

It would seem that the activemq package brings in libaries it needs by symlinking them into
the lib directory under /usr/share/activemq. asm3.jar is linked in this way, but not asm3-all.jar.
This seems to be a bug to me, since the classes it contains are needed for even a relatively
simple activemq configuration.
