Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I downloaded the ActiveMQ so as to use it as provider for a very simple
JMS application which I created.Indeed when I run it everything seems fine, and I can see it running on port 61617. The things is that I have no clue how I can connect it with my application.I mean I downloaded a package with jars, source code, xml but I do not know what I have to do to embeded what I need in my application. I want to test a jms application in one pc if this is ever possible since it is the only one I 've got.
What I would like is some steps of how to proceed.I've already looked on the official site of ActiveMQ but I don't understand what has to be done.


Thanking you in advance.
