Excellent :-)

Do you have any non-Java cases too?  Or are you currently thinking of
a Java2Java messaging set-up?

[ I ask because we've just released a .NET client, which will interop
with Java over AMQP, plus of course the STOMP and HTTP clients seem
useful to Java users. ]

This is eminently sensible.

Not yet.. We did look at it, and it seems like a refactoring of the
Spring messaging classes using RabbitMQ's Java client, would be
straightforward.

That would be extremely welcome!

I am cc'ing some potentially interested parties.

Yes.  The AMQP Working Group believes that a client API could be
useful, for example a set of Java interface classes in a package
org.amqp.*

What do you think of the RabbitMQ Java and C# APIs?

It's a pleasure.
