It is the default JMS provider integrated into GlassFish.

In addition to support for the JMS API, OpenMQ provides additional enterprise features including clustering for scalability and high availability, a C API, and a full JMX administration API. It also includes an implementation of the Jakarta Connectors called the JMSRA, that allows OpenMQ to be used by a Jakarta EE compliant application server.
