Unfortunately javax.net.SocketFactory and its default implementations in 
the JDK, which is what the Java client is using, do not appear to 
support the setting of a connection timeout.

You could write your own implementation of the SocketFactory interface 
that creates sockets with a connection timeout, and supply instances of 
that implementation to com.rabbitmq.client.ConnectionFactory's 
setSocketFactory method.
