+	<description><![CDATA[Spring AMQP is framework that makes it easy to write Java applications for the Advanced Message Queue Protocol.  It supports a variety of common high-level messaging patterns, like synchronous and asynchronous consumers, synchronous producers, automatic re-connection, transactions, batching.  The emphasis is on declarative configuration and a POJO programming model without hiding the full power of the underlying protocol.
